&lt;br /&gt;
The public distribution system (PDS) and its disbursal of rations to the poor have come under the scanner in Jharkhand after three persons died recently, allegedly owing to lack of food.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;What happened?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
On September 28, Santoshi Kumari, an 11-year-old from Simdega district, died. Her mother, Koyli Devi, said the child died of hunger as the family was not getting rations under the State-run PDS for the past several months. The family was removed from the list of PDS beneficiaries as their ration cards were not linked to Aadhaar, government agencies claimed. The death triggered widespread criticism. When two more deaths followed &amp;mdash; and the families of the victims said they had not been getting rations either &amp;mdash; it drew attention to the glitches in the PDS.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The family of Baidyanath Das, who died on October 21 at Jharia in Dhanbad district on October 21, said they had applied for ration cards several times, but were yet to be enlisted. The third death was reported from Deoghar district. Ruplal Marandi, a daily wage earner in his 60s, died on October 23. His daughter Manodi told journalists that her father died of hunger as the family could not collect rations because of a biometric mismatch at the PDS shop.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;What is the government stand?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In all the three instances, the district administration said the deaths were not due to starvation. The Simdega district administration said Santoshi Kumari died of malaria. The administration of Dhanbad said Baidyanath Das was not keeping good health for a month and his wife and son did odd jobs, so the question of one family member dying of hunger did not arise.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At Deoghar, the administration said the family had a ration card and got timely supplies. But in all three cases, there were discrepancies about the functioning of the PDS. Even in the Deoghar incident, the family said it got rations only till August, though dealers and the district administration claimed that the family had collected foodgrains in September too. The gaps were glaring at both Simdega and Jharia: while Santoshi Kumari&amp;rsquo;s family was struck off the beneficiary list for not linking Aadhaar card to the PDS, the family of Baidyanath Das had never been enrolled.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;What happened?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
On September 28, Santoshi Kumari, an 11-year-old from Simdega district, died. Her mother, Koyli Devi, said the child died of hunger as the family was not getting rations under the State-run PDS for the past several months. The family was removed from the list of PDS beneficiaries as their ration cards were not linked to Aadhaar, government agencies claimed. The death triggered widespread criticism. When two more deaths followed &amp;mdash; and the families of the victims said they had not been getting rations either &amp;mdash; it drew attention to the glitches in the PDS.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The family of Baidyanath Das, who died on October 21 at Jharia in Dhanbad district on October 21, said they had applied for ration cards several times, but were yet to be enlisted. The third death was reported from Deoghar district. Ruplal Marandi, a daily wage earner in his 60s, died on October 23. His daughter Manodi told journalists that her father died of hunger as the family could not collect rations because of a biometric mismatch at the PDS shop.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;What is the government stand?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In all the three instances, the district administration said the deaths were not due to starvation. The Simdega district administration said Santoshi Kumari died of malaria. The administration of Dhanbad said Baidyanath Das was not keeping good health for a month and his wife and son did odd jobs, so the question of one family member dying of hunger did not arise.&lt;br /&gt;

Her mother, Koyli Devi, said the child died of hunger as the family was not getting rations under the State-run PDS for the past several months. The family was removed from the list of PDS beneficiaries as their ration cards were not linked to Aadhaar, government agencies claimed. The death triggered widespread criticism. When two more deaths followed &amp;mdash; and the families of the victims said they had not been getting rations either &amp;mdash; it drew attention to the glitches in the PDS.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The family of Baidyanath Das, who died on October 21 at Jharia in Dhanbad district on October 21, said they had applied for ration cards several times, but were yet to be enlisted. The third death was reported from Deoghar district. Ruplal Marandi, a daily wage earner in his 60s, died on October 23. His daughter Manodi told journalists that her father died of hunger as the family could not collect rations because of a biometric mismatch at the PDS shop.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;What is the government stand?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In all the three instances, the district administration said the deaths were not due to starvation. The Simdega district administration said Santoshi Kumari died of malaria. The administration of Dhanbad said Baidyanath Das was not keeping good health for a month and his wife and son did odd jobs, so the question of one family member dying of hunger did not arise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At Deoghar, the administration said the family had a ration card and got timely supplies. But in all three cases, there were discrepancies about the functioning of the PDS. Even in the Deoghar incident, the family said it got rations only till August, though dealers and the district administration claimed that the family had collected foodgrains in September too. The gaps were glaring at both Simdega and Jharia: while Santoshi Kumari&amp;rsquo;s family was struck off the beneficiary list for not linking Aadhaar card to the PDS, the family of Baidyanath Das had never been enrolled.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/whiff-of-starvation-in-jharkhand-deaths/article19940690.ece&quot; title=&quot;http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/whiff-of-starvation-in-jharkhand-deaths/article19940690.ece&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&#039;

The public distribution system (PDS) and its disbursal of rations to the poor have come under the scanner in Jharkhand after three persons died recently, allegedly owing to lack of food.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;What happened?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
On September 28, Santoshi Kumari, an 11-year-old from Simdega district, died. Her mother, Koyli Devi, said the child died of hunger as the family was not getting rations under the State-run PDS for the past several months. The family was removed from the list of PDS beneficiaries as their ration cards were not linked to Aadhaar, government agencies claimed. The death triggered widespread criticism. When two more deaths followed &amp;mdash; and the families of the victims said they had not been getting rations either &amp;mdash; it drew attention to the glitches in the PDS.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The family of Baidyanath Das, who died on October 21 at Jharia in Dhanbad district on October 21, said they had applied for ration cards several times, but were yet to be enlisted. The third death was reported from Deoghar district. Ruplal Marandi, a daily wage earner in his 60s, died on October 23. His daughter Manodi told journalists that her father died of hunger as the family could not collect rations because of a biometric mismatch at the PDS shop.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;What is the government stand?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In all the three instances, the district administration said the deaths were not due to starvation. The Simdega district administration said Santoshi Kumari died of malaria. The administration of Dhanbad said Baidyanath Das was not keeping good health for a month and his wife and son did odd jobs, so the question of one family member dying of hunger did not arise.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At Deoghar, the administration said the family had a ration card and got timely supplies. But in all three cases, there were discrepancies about the functioning of the PDS. Even in the Deoghar incident, the family said it got rations only till August, though dealers and the district administration claimed that the family had collected foodgrains in September too. The gaps were glaring at both Simdega and Jharia: while Santoshi Kumari&amp;rsquo;s family was struck off the beneficiary list for not linking Aadhaar card to the PDS, the family of Baidyanath Das had never been enrolled.&lt;br /&gt;

The public distribution system (PDS) and its disbursal of rations to the poor have come under the scanner in Jharkhand after three persons died recently, allegedly owing to lack of food.<br />
<br />
<em>What happened?<br />
</em><br />
On September 28, Santoshi Kumari, an 11-year-old from Simdega district, died. Her mother, Koyli Devi, said the child died of hunger as the family was not getting rations under the State-run PDS for the past several months. The family was removed from the list of PDS beneficiaries as their ration cards were not linked to Aadhaar, government agencies claimed. The death triggered widespread criticism. When two more deaths followed &mdash; and the families of the victims said they had not been getting rations either &mdash; it drew attention to the glitches in the PDS.<br />
<br />
The family of Baidyanath Das, who died on October 21 at Jharia in Dhanbad district on October 21, said they had applied for ration cards several times, but were yet to be enlisted. The third death was reported from Deoghar district. Ruplal Marandi, a daily wage earner in his 60s, died on October 23. His daughter Manodi told journalists that her father died of hunger as the family could not collect rations because of a biometric mismatch at the PDS shop.<br />
<br />
<em>What is the government stand?<br />
</em><br />
In all the three instances, the district administration said the deaths were not due to starvation. The Simdega district administration said Santoshi Kumari died of malaria. The administration of Dhanbad said Baidyanath Das was not keeping good health for a month and his wife and son did odd jobs, so the question of one family member dying of hunger did not arise.<br />
<br />
At Deoghar, the administration said the family had a ration card and got timely supplies. But in all three cases, there were discrepancies about the functioning of the PDS. Even in the Deoghar incident, the family said it got rations only till August, though dealers and the district administration claimed that the family had collected foodgrains in September too. The gaps were glaring at both Simdega and Jharia: while Santoshi Kumari&rsquo;s family was struck off the beneficiary list for not linking Aadhaar card to the PDS, the family of Baidyanath Das had never been enrolled.<br />

Whiff of starvation in Jharkhand deaths -Shiv Sahay Singh

-The Hindu The public distribution system (PDS) and its disbursal of rations to the poor have come under the scanner in Jharkhand after three persons died recently, allegedly owing to lack of food. What happened? On September 28, Santoshi Kumari, an 11-year-old from Simdega district, died. Her mother, Koyli Devi, said the child died of hunger as the family was not getting rations under the State-run PDS for the past several months. The family was removed from the list of PDS beneficiaries as their ration cards were not linked to Aadhaar, government agencies claimed. The death triggered widespread criticism. When two more deaths followed — and the families of the victims said they had not been getting rations either — it drew attention to the glitches in the PDS. The family of Baidyanath Das, who died on October 21 at Jharia in Dhanbad district on October 21, said they had applied for ration cards several times, but were yet to be enlisted. The third death was reported from Deoghar district. Ruplal Marandi, a daily wage earner in his 60s, died on October 23. His daughter Manodi told journalists that her father died of hunger as the family could not collect rations because of a biometric mismatch at the PDS shop. What is the government stand? In all the three instances, the district administration said the deaths were not due to starvation. The Simdega district administration said Santoshi Kumari died of malaria. The administration of Dhanbad said Baidyanath Das was not keeping good health for a month and his wife and son did odd jobs, so the question of one family member dying of hunger did not arise. At Deoghar, the administration said the family had a ration card and got timely supplies. But in all three cases, there were discrepancies about the functioning of the PDS. Even in the Deoghar incident, the family said it got rations only till August, though dealers and the district administration claimed that the family had collected foodgrains in September too. The gaps were glaring at both Simdega and Jharia: while Santoshi Kumari’s family was struck off the beneficiary list for not linking Aadhaar card to the PDS, the family of Baidyanath Das had never been enrolled.
