Srinagar, Sept 24: The Food Civil Supplies and Consumer Affairs Department has issued a stern warning to the economically sound individuals including government officials and pensioners holding Below Poverty Line ration cards in Kashmir, telling them to give up their cards or face consequences.
It is to mention here that during the re-verification of ration cards, FCS&CA officials discovered that many ineligible households had Priority Household ration cards also known as BPL, which allowed them to receive highly subsided ration supplies in violation of the law and siphon money for the State exchequer.
