With the state yet to set guidelines for enforcement of the bill, beneficiaries will continue to get 25 kg food grains instead of 35 kg
In the absence of an appropriate infrastructure and set parameters for implementation of the ambitious Food Security Bill, it has been learnt that the beneficiaries covered under this Bill would get 25 kg of food grains instead of 35 kg per months as promised earlier by the government.
Officials of the Pune Divisional Supply Department (PDSD) are clueless about distributing food grains to those falling in the Below Poverty Line (BPL) category, as the high-level committee of the state is yet to decide parameters for Public Distribution System (PDS) after implementing the bill in the city.
