Despite complaints over lack of applications and ambiguity on a few aspects, including ration cards on the first day at Praja Palana programme, officials did not address the issues and many people faced similar problems at several centres on Friday as well.
Braving the cold weather, people, especially women, queued up since 6 a.m. at many centres in the city. However, many complained that obtaining the Praja Palana application forms was nothing short of a challenge.
At a few centres, officials distributed the forms free of cost but instructed the people to present local residence identification proof. Application forms were issued to the people only after verifying the local identification proofs (Aadhaar cards and power bills).
