Addressing the media the DCC General Secretary Vinay Sharma expressed deep anguish over inadequate and irregular ration supply and said that there are huge discrepancies in the preparation of new ration cards, the ration cards have added new features and classify people on the basis of their income, but consumers have been complaining of errors and discrepancies in them.
