Got an emergency? Get a ration card on the spot

Bengaluru, Nov 10: Keeping the Assembly polls in mind, the government has decided to issue ration cards on the spot.

This will benefit those in  an emergency, Food and Civil Supplies Minister U T Khader said. "Those who need a ration card during a medical emergency or under the bidaai (marriage) scheme will get it on the spot. They have to just submit their income and caste certificates," Khader told reporters on Thursday.

Earlier this year, the department of food and civil supplies relaxed norms for ration cards by allowing applicants to submit a self-declaration that their annual family income was below Rs 1.2 lakh.

The on-the-spot system will be put in place from January, by which time the department hopes to issue BPLcards to all those who have applied.

"We have received 16 lakh applications, of which 10 lakh cards have been issued. By December 15, all the applications will be processed," he said.

"The delay was caused as the  income and caste certificates are issued by the revenue department which has now introduced a similar over-the-counter system to issue the certificates," he said.

Dammam, Feb 3: Harish Bangera, 32, who was arrested in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia more than a month ago after offensive Facebook post went viral, has remained incommunicado.

Bangera, who hails from Goyadibettu in Bijadi village of Kundapur taluk, Udupi district, was an air-conditioning technician for a company in Dammam, capital of Saudi's eastern province.

He was arrested on December 20, 2019 after he posted derogatory messages on Facebook against crown prince Mohammad bin Salman and went on to claim that a Ram temple will be built in the holy city of Makkah too just like in Ayodhya where the Babri mosque was demolished.

Fearing legal action, he later posted a video pleading for forgiveness. “I have committed a mistake. Please forgive me. I will never upload any such posts again," he is seen saying in the video.

After his arrest, his roommate, who happens to be a Pakistani, has reportedly made several attempt to contact him, but in vain. He also has approached many Indian and Saudi authorities in his bid to get Bangera out of prison, sources said.

The Saudi authorities have not even responded to the messages of Indian Ministry of External Affairs. "We've made many efforts to contact the Saudi authorities but they haven't responded,” MEA sources said.

There can be many such people in the Kingdom. 

 

They should be identified and treated in the same way.

These are real terrorists, keep him few years in jail,  they should not be let free. Otherwise they will forget and commit again.

May God help us.
