MLA UT Khader Questions State Government’s Move to Stop the Distribution of Toor Dal Through Fair Price Shops

September 8: MLA UT Khader took severe umbrage to a move  to stop supply of tur dal to priority beneficiaries through fair price shops across the state from September by the state government.
He mentioned that Siddaramaiah’s Government had initiated the move during his tenure as minister to ensure balanced diet for socio-economically backward sections of the society. He said that this move to stop tur dal which is an important source of protein, at subsidized rate is is not right.
The government is free to root out bogus priority/non-priority ration card, it should not sop benefits to eligible beneficiaries in the guise of carrying out the process. The government on the other hand should also take steps to issue new ration cards to people who have lost the same in the recent floods to have hit the state.
