2.33 crore bogus ration cards removed
Around 2.33 crore bogus ration cards have been removed all over the country after being linked with Aadhaar cards, Union Consumer Affairs Minister Ram Vilas Paswan has said. These ration cards had nearly paralysed the public distribution system and now their removal has led to ‘Rightful Targeting of Food Subsidies’ of around ₹14,000 crore, the minister added.
