&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;174 lakh bogus cards were cancelled in various States in the last one year&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Ministry tells States, Union Territories to issue ads in newspapers&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The Centre has warned bogus ration card holders to surrender their cards or face penal action.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;As part of a campaign, the government has cancelled about 174 lakh bogus ration cards in various States in the last one year.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;In a recent letter to the States and Union Territories, the Union Food Ministry cited the Supreme Court&#039;s direction in the matter and invoked the provisions under the Public Distribution System (Control) Order, 2001, to initiate criminal proceedings against those who infringed on the provisions of the order.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;To weed out bogus ration card holders from the system and thus check diversion of foodgrains, the Ministry has asked the States and the Union Territories to issue advertisements in newspapers asking the owners of bogus ration cards to surrender their cards or face penal action under Section 7 of the PDS Order under the Essential Commodities Act.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;As of now, the Centre allocates subsidised foodgrains for 6.52 crore Below Poverty Line families and 11.52 crore Above Poverty Line families although the number of ration cards in the system is a lot more.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Under Section 7, any person contravening the order is liable to be sentenced to imprisonment, which may extend up to seven years and shall also be liable to a fine. Sentence of imprisonment cannot be less than three months unless there are adequate and special reasons.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;In the case of infringement by a ration shop dealer, the property in respect of which contravention of the order has taken place is liable to be forfeited to the government and so also any vehicle used in carrying such commodity. If a person commits offence a second time, then imprisonment cannot be less than six months subject to adequate and special reasons.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Section 9 of the order provides for punishment up to five years or fine or both, if the record is not maintained in terms of the Control Order or any statement or information furnished, which is not true.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;On August 31, while hearing the petition on streamlining the PDS, the Supreme Court directed the government to issue a warning asking all bogus ration card holders to surrender their cards or face action under the law.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;A licensed ration shop keeper has to maintain a proper record of the BPL, APL and Antyodaya card holders, stocks available, stocks issued and sold. All information is to be displayed at a prominent place on a daily basis.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;174 lakh bogus cards were cancelled in various States in the last one year&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Ministry tells States, Union Territories to issue ads in newspapers&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The Centre has warned bogus ration card holders to surrender their cards or face penal action.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;As part of a campaign, the government has cancelled about 174 lakh bogus ration cards in various States in the last one year.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;In a recent letter to the States and Union Territories, the Union Food Ministry cited the Supreme Court&#039;s direction in the matter and invoked the provisions under the Public Distribution System (Control) Order, 2001, to initiate criminal proceedings against those who infringed on the provisions of the order.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;To weed out bogus ration card holders from the system and thus check diversion of foodgrains, the Ministry has asked the States and the Union Territories to issue advertisements in newspapers asking the owners of bogus ration cards to surrender their cards or face penal action under Section 7 of the PDS Order under the Essential Commodities Act.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;As of now, the Centre allocates subsidised foodgrains for 6.52 crore Below Poverty Line families and 11.52 crore Above Poverty Line families although the number of ration cards in the system is a lot more.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Under Section 7, any person contravening the order is liable to be sentenced to imprisonment, which may extend up to seven years and shall also be liable to a fine. Sentence of imprisonment cannot be less than three months unless there are adequate and special reasons.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;In the case of infringement by a ration shop dealer, the property in respect of which contravention of the order has taken place is liable to be forfeited to the government and so also any vehicle used in carrying such commodity. If a person commits offence a second time, then imprisonment cannot be less than six months subject to adequate and special reasons.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Section 9 of the order provides for punishment up to five years or fine or both, if the record is not maintained in terms of the Control Order or any statement or information furnished, which is not true.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;On August 31, while hearing the petition on streamlining the PDS, the Supreme Court directed the government to issue a warning asking all bogus ration card holders to surrender their cards or face action under the law.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;A licensed ration shop keeper has to maintain a proper record of the BPL, APL and Antyodaya card holders, stocks available, stocks issued and sold. All information is to be displayed at a prominent place on a daily basis.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;174 lakh bogus cards were cancelled in various States in the last one year&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Ministry tells States, Union Territories to issue ads in newspapers&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The Centre has warned bogus ration card holders to surrender their cards or face penal action.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;As part of a campaign, the government has cancelled about 174 lakh bogus ration cards in various States in the last one year.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;In a recent letter to the States and Union Territories, the Union Food Ministry cited the Supreme Court&#039;s direction in the matter and invoked the provisions under the Public Distribution System (Control) Order, 2001, to initiate criminal proceedings against those who infringed on the provisions of the order.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;To weed out bogus ration card holders from the system and thus check diversion of foodgrains, the Ministry has asked the States and the Union Territories to issue advertisements in newspapers asking the owners of bogus ration cards to surrender their cards or face penal action under Section 7 of the PDS Order under the Essential Commodities Act.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;As of now, the Centre allocates subsidised foodgrains for 6.52 crore Below Poverty Line families and 11.52 crore Above Poverty Line families although the number of ration cards in the system is a lot more.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Under Section 7, any person contravening the order is liable to be sentenced to imprisonment, which may extend up to seven years and shall also be liable to a fine. Sentence of imprisonment cannot be less than three months unless there are adequate and special reasons.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;In the case of infringement by a ration shop dealer, the property in respect of which contravention of the order has taken place is liable to be forfeited to the government and so also any vehicle used in carrying such commodity. If a person commits offence a second time, then imprisonment cannot be less than six months subject to adequate and special reasons.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Section 9 of the order provides for punishment up to five years or fine or both, if the record is not maintained in terms of the Control Order or any statement or information furnished, which is not true.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;On August 31, while hearing the petition on streamlining the PDS, the Supreme Court directed the government to issue a warning asking all bogus ration card holders to surrender their cards or face action under the law.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;A licensed ration shop keeper has to maintain a proper record of the BPL, APL and Antyodaya card holders, stocks available, stocks issued and sold. All information is to be displayed at a prominent place on a daily basis.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;174 lakh bogus cards were cancelled in various States in the last one year&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Ministry tells States, Union Territories to issue ads in newspapers&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The Centre has warned bogus ration card holders to surrender their cards or face penal action.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;As part of a campaign, the government has cancelled about 174 lakh bogus ration cards in various States in the last one year.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;In a recent letter to the States and Union Territories, the Union Food Ministry cited the Supreme Court&#039;s direction in the matter and invoked the provisions under the Public Distribution System (Control) Order, 2001, to initiate criminal proceedings against those who infringed on the provisions of the order.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;To weed out bogus ration card holders from the system and thus check diversion of foodgrains, the Ministry has asked the States and the Union Territories to issue advertisements in newspapers asking the owners of bogus ration cards to surrender their cards or face penal action under Section 7 of the PDS Order under the Essential Commodities Act.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;As of now, the Centre allocates subsidised foodgrains for 6.52 crore Below Poverty Line families and 11.52 crore Above Poverty Line families although the number of ration cards in the system is a lot more.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Under Section 7, any person contravening the order is liable to be sentenced to imprisonment, which may extend up to seven years and shall also be liable to a fine. Sentence of imprisonment cannot be less than three months unless there are adequate and special reasons.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;In the case of infringement by a ration shop dealer, the property in respect of which contravention of the order has taken place is liable to be forfeited to the government and so also any vehicle used in carrying such commodity. If a person commits offence a second time, then imprisonment cannot be less than six months subject to adequate and special reasons.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Section 9 of the order provides for punishment up to five years or fine or both, if the record is not maintained in terms of the Control Order or any statement or information furnished, which is not true.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;On August 31, while hearing the petition on streamlining the PDS, the Supreme Court directed the government to issue a warning asking all bogus ration card holders to surrender their cards or face action under the law.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;A licensed ration shop keeper has to maintain a proper record of the BPL, APL and Antyodaya card holders, stocks available, stocks issued and sold. All information is to be displayed at a prominent place on a daily basis.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

Surrender bogus ration cards or face penal action: Centre by Gargi Parsai

174 lakh bogus cards were cancelled in various States in the last one year Ministry tells States, Union Territories to issue ads in newspapers The Centre has warned bogus ration card holders to surrender their cards or face penal action. As part of a campaign, the government has cancelled about 174 lakh bogus ration cards in various States in the last one year. In a recent letter to the States and Union Territories, the Union Food Ministry cited the Supreme Court's direction in the matter and invoked the provisions under the Public Distribution System (Control) Order, 2001, to initiate criminal proceedings against those who infringed on the provisions of the order. To weed out bogus ration card holders from the system and thus check diversion of foodgrains, the Ministry has asked the States and the Union Territories to issue advertisements in newspapers asking the owners of bogus ration cards to surrender their cards or face penal action under Section 7 of the PDS Order under the Essential Commodities Act. As of now, the Centre allocates subsidised foodgrains for 6.52 crore Below Poverty Line families and 11.52 crore Above Poverty Line families although the number of ration cards in the system is a lot more. Under Section 7, any person contravening the order is liable to be sentenced to imprisonment, which may extend up to seven years and shall also be liable to a fine. Sentence of imprisonment cannot be less than three months unless there are adequate and special reasons. In the case of infringement by a ration shop dealer, the property in respect of which contravention of the order has taken place is liable to be forfeited to the government and so also any vehicle used in carrying such commodity. If a person commits offence a second time, then imprisonment cannot be less than six months subject to adequate and special reasons. Section 9 of the order provides for punishment up to five years or fine or both, if the record is not maintained in terms of the Control Order or any statement or information furnished, which is not true. On August 31, while hearing the petition on streamlining the PDS, the Supreme Court directed the government to issue a warning asking all bogus ration card holders to surrender their cards or face action under the law. A licensed ration shop keeper has to maintain a proper record of the BPL, APL and Antyodaya card holders, stocks available, stocks issued and sold. All information is to be displayed at a prominent place on a daily basis.
