CS Commissioner denies deletion of farmers' Ration Cards

Hyderabad: Civil Supplies Commissioner Akun Sabharwal said no ration cards are deleted. 

"There is no truth in the news circulated on Deletion of Ration Cards of the farmers who own 10 acres or more and are Rythu Bandhu Scheme beneficiaries. Civil Supplies Department has not issued any orders on this matter," Sabharwal said in a press release on Wednesday. He claimed that the State Government has no thought of deleting ration cards. Every eligible ration card beneficiary will get ration commodities. No eligible ration cards are removed, he said. 

The Civil Supplies Department has issued 3.50 lakhs ration cards to eligible applicants in recent times. The Commissioner said farmers need not panic on this false news of ration cards deletion.
