AAY cards provided to 11,230 persons, says Minister
Pink-coloured ration cards in the priority category will be provided to more than one lakh people before November 1, Food and Civil Supplies Minister G.R. Anil has said. He was speaking after listening to the complaints received at a monthly phone-in programme. Mr. Anil said several applications for priority cards were still being received. Cards in the Antyodaya Anna Yojana (AAY) category were provided to 11,230 persons. Priority-category ration cards will not be denied to those who own four-wheelers for the purpose of taking differently abled children for treatment. Steps to impose fines on those illegally holding on to priority cards have been stopped so as to encourage people to surrender the cards.More Related News
