Villagers from far-flung blocks take part in agitation organised under the aegis of Khadya Suraksha Jan Adhikar Manch

Jamshedpur: Nearly 2,000 villagers from different blocks of Jharkhand’s West Singhbhum district staged a dharna at the district headquarters to protest the “theft” of foodgrains in violation of the National Food Security Act (NFSA).

Villagers from far-flung blocks like Sadar, Tonto, Khuntpani, Tantnagar, Chakradharpur, Sonua, Hatgamharia, Kumardungi and Manoharpur took part in the agitation organised under the aegis of Khadya Suraksha Jan Adhikar Manch. They shouted slogans like “kon khaya garibon ka ration — dealer ya prashasan” (who ate the poor’s ration, dealer or administration?) and “ration choron to jail bhejon” (jail the ration thieves) at the old district collectorate in Chaibasa.

National Food Security Act, 2013 converts into legal entitlements for existing food security programmes of the government of India. It includes the midday meal scheme, integrated child development services scheme and the public distribution system.

Under the NFSA, beneficiaries are entitled to 5kg of foodgrains per person per month. The Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Yojana (PMGKY) provides another 5kg of foodgrains per person per month.

A delegation from the Manch submitted a memorandum addressed to West Singhbhum deputy commissioner Ananya Mittal at the new district collectorate with copies to chairperson of Jharkhand State Food Commission, Himanshu Shekhar, and secretary in the food and civil supplies department, Himani Pande.
