Civil Supplies corporation is taking crucial steps to prevent diversion of PDS Rice. Government is spending 23 rupees per kilo and distributing it to the poor people at just one rupee per kilo through ration dealers.
Till date the enforcement and vigilance teams are registering cases on the ration dealers, active black marketers who are indulging in diverting PDS rice. But after detailed enquiry it has been brought to the notice of the CS department that few card holders are also selling the rice at 10/- per kilo in open market. As there are no predefined rules about the action to be initiated against the card holders, the criminals are not getting punished in courts.
Therefore the Telangana Government modified the control order 17(introduced in 2008) by adding clauses D,E which allows to register criminal cases on card holders too.Apart from that ration card will be cancelled and fine will be imposed.The new control order will reduce diversion of PDS rice.
