Haryana Begins Verification of 7.22 Lakh BPL Ration Card Members for PDS Eligibility
The Haryana government has initiated a statewide verification drive targeting 7.22 lakh members from 4.03 lakh Below Poverty Line (BPL) ration card families to ensure Public Distribution System (PDS) benefits reach only eligible beneficiaries. Officials are scrutinizing land ownership, vehicle registrations, and income records before taking action against suspected ineligible families. Faridabad and Gurugram have the highest numbers of suspected families. The exercise aims to enhance transparency and eliminate ineligible beneficiaries from the PDS.
