Chief
Minister, Shivraj Singh Chouhan has warned the hoarders and
black marketers of strict action. He said that if PDS wheat
is sold in the black market then strict action would be taken
against the sellers. He told in Dhar that any kind of irregularity
towards poor would not be tolerated. On the other hand the
Chief Minister writing a letter to Prime Minister demanded
to sanction 35 kg grains per month to 62 lakh 50 thousand
BPL card holders in the state. Chief Minister's concern over
the people belong to below poverty line can be understood.
Along with this his commitment to provide proper rate to the
farmers for their agriculture product, is need of the day
but according to information, the problems of BPL card holders
is noticeable. According to information there are 35 per cent
fake BPL ration cards in the state. In this way 35 per cent
share of poor is being distributed to others. Actual BPL people
are being deprived. There are so many families who are living
below poverty line but they have no cards. Its assessment
is necessary and strict action should be taken against the
people who are taking ration on the basis of fake cards. Questions
have been raised on the distribution system. There is suspicion
of fake activities also in it. Strict steps are required against
it. In the whole context there is need to strictness in the
distribution system then the real beneficiaries would be able
to take advantage of PDS. Reform is necessary in such condition.
Problems of poor and deprived class people would be solved
if work is done whole heartedly. Black marketers should not
be spared and action should be taken against them.
