DRRAA writes to CM highlighting issues on ration distribution
Delhi Rozi Roti Adhikar Abhiyaan (DRRAA) wrote to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday demanding the setting up of help desks and facilitating walk-in registrations for non-ration cardholders, who require foodgrains. It also said that there should be decentralised distribution points across the city so that people can reach easily.
Highlighting issues to be taken into consideration while formulating the scheme to distribute grains among non-ration cardholders, the DRRAA in its letter said: “It must be ensured that the procedure for registering for dry grains is simple and accessible. The government must set up help desks in low income areas and at distribution points to facilitate registration, in addition to online registration. To prevent delay in providing ration, walk-in registration must be allowed at distribution points where people can avail grains on the spot.”
