The District Food and Supply Controller (DFSC) has served notices to 103 ration depot owners under the PDS Control Act 2009 for alleged misappropriation in distribution of grains through online system.

Former Zila Parishad member and Jan Awaaj Society head Jogender Swami has filed a complaint to the DFSC office about an alleged scam in the public distribution system with the connivance of officials and ration depot holders. Swami gave a list of 126 ration cards in which fake beneficiaries were added and their Aadhaar cards linked to the official portal.
