CM Arvind Kejriwal on Friday launched the e-ration service through which people can apply and obtain ration cards and check availability of food grains and their costs, making Delhi the first in the country to launch the facility. “It is our duty to ensure that every poor gets his/her food security. We know most of the ration cards do not reach the eligible holder as these are stocked by the ration card distributor who further misuses it.
“This e-ration card service will give solution to the problem of ration card distribution. As one applies for a ration card, he/she will get an update on mobile and can take out a printed copy of the card,” Kejriwal said after launching the facility.
According to a senior government official, anyone can avail the facility of e-ration card on the Department of Food Supplies and Consumer Affairs website (www.nfs.delhi.gov.in). In the citizen corner of the portal, a user can apply online for food security. They can also track applications by putting their unique number. Once the verification of user is done then can get print-out of their e-ration card which will be valid like an e-ticket, the official said.
