Karnal, June 4
BJP councillors of the Karnal Municipal Corporation have alleged that more than 1,000 distress ration coupons have been issued to well-to-do families while the needy have been denied the benefit. They blame some BJP leaders for it.
The councillors say some of the affluent beneficiaries are government employees and ex-servicemen. They want the CM to order an inquiry.
The government had started a scheme to provide ration to the needy. The authorities distributed 23,000 coupons. Of these, the BJP councillors alleged, over 1,000 coupons were issued to affluent people. Nishant Kumar Yadav, DC, promised action after holding an inquiry.
