JPPF criticizes CAPD for faulty implementation of NFSA 12/11/2016 11:30:44 PM Early Times Report Jammu, Dec 11: Criticizing the Department of Consumers Affair and Public Distribution for faulty implementation of National Food Security Act, Jammu Province People Forum has urged the state govt to streamline the system in view of the hue and cry amongst masses as the whole distribution system seems confused and paralysed. Addressing members during a meeting President Pavittar Singh Bhardwaj blamed the state govt that hefty increase in the ration rates has come as a blow to the common man already under financial duress due to sky high inflation in the essential commodities. Daal had already disappeared from the poors Thaali and now the Roti is going to vanish as a result of sudden hike in price of ration which is unjustified, unconstitutional and needs to be rolled back immediately in case the poor common man has to survive. Expressing concern on the delay in the supply of new Ration Cards as per Census 2011 the President said uncertainity prevails in the system as to the Category, scale of Ration and the rates applicable amongst all catagories of Rationees which is most confusing as enhanced rate of Ration is being charged from one and all. In fact the additional quota of Ration under Mufti Mohd Sayeed Food Supply Act was to be charged at enhanced rates of Rs 13 and 15 a Kg for Atta and Rice but unfortunately every consumer is being made to pay the enhanced rate. Pointing towards the self imposed reduction in the supply of Levy sugar from 700 Gm to 500 gm the President said there is no justification or notification to this effect. Even during festivals Jammuites have been refused sugar quota for reasons better known to the Deptt. The sugar quota which was being issued including infants has been restricted to adults only and in the ration supply also only the name of children is entered in the Ration Card with no provision of ration. Even the sanctioned quota of ration is not being timely delivered to the Depots and is allegedly being sold in black.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
