The Telangana government’s long-awaited promise of issuing ration cards faces yet another delay in Hyderabad
Earlier reports indicated that distribution in Hyderabad would begin on March 1. However, local reports reveal that the civil supplies department is yet to receive official orders, and no preparations have been made so far.
According to a report by Andhra Jyothi, the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) must hold ward meetings and issue directions for the distribution of new ration cards.
Several applications have been filed through MeeSeva centers in the city. The applications are verified at the circle offices in Hyderabad over their eligibility criteria. However, the officers too have not been given clarity over the issuance of the ration cards.
