Chief Minister Rekha Gupta announced the initiation of 'Jan Shikayat Samadhan Camps' starting May 1, which will take place every Saturday from 9 am to 11 am to address ration card-related grievances directly. The camps will be staffed by assistant commissioners, and Gupta plans to conduct surprise inspections to ensure complaints are handled effectively. These camps will also promote the 'One Nation, One Ration Card' scheme and aim to establish a special committee to verify new beneficiaries. In response to issues like delays and unauthorized deductions in ration distribution, Gupta directed that accountability be enforced among dealers and suppliers, with strict actions against violators. Additionally, new smart ration cards featuring QR codes will be introduced to enhance transparency and user-friendliness in the public distribution system. Gupta emphasized the standardization of the 1,943 public distribution system (PDS) shops to improve service quality and hygiene.
