Early Times Report
SRINAGAR, Mar 2 : Consumer Affairs and Public Distribution (CAPD) Department, which has been in news for the unfair distribution of free ration, has prepared list of fake consumers with the department also supplying ration to some consumers who have already passed away.
Sources told Early Times that the list prepared by department in Awoora and many other areas of the Kupwara district includes names of some persons who have died much before, but the ration continues to be supplied by the department. "There have been mass irregularities in the distribution of free ration which is known to all but the department supplying the ration in the name of the dead people is something very strange in nature," said sources.
Sources said the list comprises names of persons who have expired four years before. They said that some of the consumers have passed away two years before but still then the ration continues to be supplied in all these cases.
Sources while quoting the list prepared by the department said that the name of a woman against serial number 604 still continues to receive the ration despite the fact that she died some six years back. Assistant Director, CAPD department Kupwara has assured that he will look into the matter. Meanwhile, people of the valley continue to rue the unfair distribution of the free ration, which was distributed in different weights for the different months starting from the month of September.
Sometimes it was 23 kilograms given to the consumers, sometimes 30 kilograms and by latest it has been distributed at the proportion of 20 kilograms and 15 kilograms in two installments respectively.
"As per the directive, family had to get the 210 kilograms of free ration for the six months starting from the September last, but that was not to be. At some places people got 180 kilograms, somewhere 190 kilograms and at some places the total weight received by a family did not exceed to the weight of 160 kilograms," said Nazir Ahmad from Budgam.
The department has other story to tell with respect to the different weights of ration given to the customers for the last six months. "In the month of the September almost every family received a full bag of ration (50 kilograms) because at that time we distributed the ration according to the list as prepared by the concerned DCs.
But as the figures enhanced as many families had remained to be covered, the amount of ration distributed varied, quite naturally so," said Abdul Rashid War, Director CAPD department. |
