SRINAGAR, Dec 12: The Jammu and Kashmir National Conference today said the proposed issuance of unique IDs to families across Jammu and Kashmir is not needed and that the government should instead focus more on effective deliverance of existing schemes.
Echoing the sentiments of people, party’s chief spokesperson Tanvir Sadiq said that there is already a web of government issued documents to people through which government agencies determine the identification and subsequent eligibility of beneficiaries for receiving various social welfare benefits and schemes.
“Why is such an exercise needed in the first place? There is already enough data available with the government agencies in terms of Adhaar through which benefits like direct bank transfer (DBT) are reaching to end beneficiaries. It’s an utter wastage of resources, time and money. At a time, when the government’s attention should be focused on fixing the development deficit, administrative inertia and unemployment, it’s focussing on such non-issues,” he added.
