The Department of Food and Civil Supplies has come up with a clarification that no such order had been passed preventing ration from being given to beneficiaries without Aadhaar.
“We have not issued any order and want to clarify that every eligible ration card holder would get ration with or withour Aadhaar number in the light of the Supreme Court order,” said a communiqué.
This has been furnished by the office in the light of a protest organised by social activists, including Jean Dreze who had staged a dharna before Raj Bhawan against the alleged decision on Tuesday.
