Millennium Post Delhi|Delhi 20 March 2024
The Supreme Court on Tuesday directed all the states and Union territories (UTs) to provide two months ration cards to migrant labourers registered on the e-ashram portal for availing benefits of various schemes of the government.
Provide ration cards to left-out migrant labourers in 2 mths: SC

A bench of justices Hima Kohli and Ahsanuddin Amanullah took note that the authorities have failed to comply with the court’s April 20, 2023 directions by which it had granted three months’ time to them to provide rations cards to the labourers.

The apex court said unnecessary delays were being caused by putting in impediments such as requiring eKYC of all 80 crore ration card-holders to be updated before the direction could be compiled with.

It directed that the ration cards must be issued irrespective of the quotas set under the National Food Security Act (NFSA).
