'CONDUCT IMMEDIATE ENQUIRIES...'

- SOUMITRA NANDI

KOLKATA: The state Food and Supplies department is taking every possible measure to ensure that a genuine poor beneficiary is not left out from the benefits of food grains under Khadya Sathi scheme due to non-availability of Aadhar or inability to complete eKYC. It has come to the notice of the department that some families are facing challenges in accessing their entitled foodgrains due to such reasons.

Principal Secretary of state Food and Supplies department Parvez Ahmad Siddiqui has written to all district magistrates to conduct immediate enquiries into reported cases of exclusion, if any and ensure that timely and appropriate remedial actions are taken for such affected families.
