The Union govt report had asked states to remove provisions that restricted migrants in accessing PDS benefits

The Supreme Court asked the Union government on April 30, 2020 to consider adopting a ‘one nation, one ration card’ scheme for migrants stuck in cities due to the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak.

The apex court’s direction came in the backdrop of multiple reports of migrants being unable to access subsidised food grains through the public distribution system (PDS) because of lack of identity proof or ration cards.
