Question

What are the problems with the functioning of ration shops?

Answer 1

There are various problems with the functioning of ration shops such as;

• Ration cards are issued only to those people who have their proper residential addresses. Hence a large number of homeless poor fail to get ration from these shops.
• The owners of these shops sell ration in the open market at higher prices.
• Sometimes shopkeepers make bogus entries in the ration cards.
