Shimla: The ration will now be available from ultra-modern new POS machines in more than 5,100 depots across the state. The tender period with the POS machine company running till now has been completed, while the process of providing new machines to the depots across the state will be started soon, including the finalization of the tender, and the process of distributing them in the depots and running them will also be started soon. Due to this, now ration card holders will be able to get rations with biometrics and OTP on mobile and will also get a confirmed bill. Till now, instead of a machine bill, most consumers were given fake bills by hand by the depot holders, but now a digital bill will be made according to the goods purchased by the consumer.
Now, high-tech digital POS machines will be provided in the cheap ration depots. In such a situation, more than 19 lakh consumers across the state will no longer have to be disappointed about the fingerprints of rations not being scanned in the cheap ration depots. OTP, biometric scanning, and bills will also be generated for consumers by high-tech machines. In such a situation, there will now be more transparency in ration distribution. -HDM
There are currently a total of 19 lakh, 60 thousand, and 467 ration card holders in the state. The said ration card holders are provided free and low-priced rations to Antyodaya, BPL, and PHH families and subsidy-based cheap rations to APL and others at lower prices than the market through about 5100 fair-priced shops in the state. This time, changes will be made in the depots by the Food Supply Department of Himachal Pradesh.
New machines will be distributed in place of the old ones.
The District Controller of Food Supply and Consumer Affairs Department in Kangra, Purushottam Singh, said that new machines will be distributed in the depots instead of old POS machines. For this, final processes are going on so that consumers will be able to get rations more transparently and conveniently. Now there will be no rigging in the distribution of rations in the depots.
