Government has found the solution to malpractice by ration shopkeepers in weighing sugar

Sugar is being distributed to Antyodaya cardholders at ration shops.  There are complaints that the beneficiary cardholders are getting less sugar in the distribution for this now the government is planning to pack one kg of sugar to the consumers to curb these complaints. Therefore, it is hoped that the fork on sugar in rations will stop.

The ration department is distributing one kg of sugar to the Antyodaya ration cardholders at a discounted rate, but the beneficiaries are getting less as the thorns are being cut while counting, such complaints are increasing. And to curb these complaints the consumers will now get 1 kg packed sugar in their ration. 

It has also been decided to distribute tea, coffee, soap, handwash, washing powder, shampoo, etc. in the ration shops of the district, but it is yet to implement. These rationing shopkeepers have not faced any technical issues like GST. Prior to that, the implementation of the decision to distribute one kg of sugar at a discounted rate has started.
