JAMMU, Mar 15:Dr.Gagan Bhagat Member Legislative Assembly strongly opposed the strategy that has been adopted by the Administration in implementing NFSA in the R.S Pura Constituency.
In a statement issued here today he said the issue of bifurcation has not been resolved and it is creating confusion among the common masses, and R.S Pura Constituency owing to its rich cultural tradition has a joint family culture and according to the present method adopted is that at a maximum six members of a family will be given 30 Kg of Ration under the present Plan adopted by the Government, and in which 12 kg of Rice and 18kg of Wheat grains will be provided.
He asked that what will happen in case of joint families which are in abundance in R.S Pura Constituency and adding to the problem the Department has also failed to perform the bifurcation of the ration cards, and no new ration card has been issued , so the joint family will not get the ration, when the Government is planning “Food for all” .
He said one more flaw in the present NFSA is that the officials deputed for the purpose have no knowledge regarding the act because they are from different fields and A.W.W and the Gram Sewaks have no idea about the act, and if the department would have placed I.T literate persons in doing that so along with the concerned dealers the results would have been outstanding. The data punched is completely wrong and has many discrepancies in it due to which several persons who are earning lakhs are listed in the B.P.L list, and the deserving ones are left out, he added.
He said the list also wrongly write wife in place of daughter and this has been taken seriously by some religious organizations , and the spelling mistakes is there in almost in every third case.
