Mizoram and Kerala Enhance GPS Tracking and Weighing Systems to Prevent Ration Leakage
Mizoram and Kerala are implementing measures to enhance transparency in ration distribution under the National Food Security Act. Mizoram will mandate AIS-140-compliant GPS tracking for rice transport trucks and link ePoS machines with digital weighing scales to prevent leakage. Kerala ration dealers have called for GPS tracking of lorries and CCTV installation at godowns to monitor foodgrain movement and ensure accurate distribution. Both states aim to reduce diversion and improve accountability in the public distribution system.
