Bhubaneswar: There are 16 lakh 27 thousand 932 ghost ration card holders in the state. Food Supply Minister Krishnachandra Patra has given an answer in the Assembly of India today. MLA Durga Prasad Naik’s question was answered by Minister Krishnachandra Patra and gave this information.
6 lakh 19 thousand 836 have applied for ration card. If the ration card is cut for any reason, you can apply again. Answering the question of MLA Tankadhar Tripathi, the minister said that the government is implementing KYC, by which the name of ineligible persons will be removed from the ration card. On the other hand, many rich people have used ration cards.
During the previous government, the dealer has eaten everything. If anyone does that now, action will be taken. The minister said in the house that if father and son lived separately in a family, both of them will get ration cards.
