Mangalore, Jul 10: In an attempt to weed out bogus ration cards, the Department of Food and Civil Supplies directed existing cardholders to submit their EPIC card (voter identity card) number. If the applicants have an Aadhaar card, the UID number of family members can be submitted.

However, the new procedure of registering ration cards through SMS has left people with burdens and woes in Mangalore City Corporation limits. There are long queues at Mangalore One centre located in MCC building with queries of confirmation of registering the ration cards. Several approached the department complaining over the complications of the procedure.

The SMS procedure may be easy for some to register, but those without a mobile number face a problem with this process. For example, there is no clear information on whether details could be sent through another's mobile phone.

Due to this, Yashoda Nair from Urwa Store, is stumped as to how to send her EPIC card number or other details without owning a personal mobile phone. She even considers it a hassle to send details through a mobile number belonging to someone else.

Moreover, only three ration cards can be registered using one phone number, thus posing another problem to citizens with more number of family members.

Others such as Shailesh grieve that after registering their details through SMS, they are again sent to Mangalore One centre by ration shops to confirm their registration. Sometimes, they are asked even for a confirmation letter confirming their registration.

Dozens of ration cardholders throng daily to the Mangalore One centre with complaints seeking clarity regarding the SMS procedure of registration, as it is essential not only for monthly ration, but also for kerosene subsidy.

An elderly citizen Padmanabha Shenoy complained that lack of proper information and complicated procedure had left several like him running from post to post, in order to get their ration card registered.

While the department had earlier set a deadline of June 30 for BPL cardholders to submit details of their ration cards and EPIC card numbers of family members, the deadline had been extended to July 15. However, it is necessary for the department to extend the deadline further.

Bengaluru, Jan 10: Chief minister BS Yediyurappa said on Thursday he might not attend the World Economic Forum (WEF) meeting in Davos, Switzerland, and would most likely visit Delhi this weekend for discussions on the pending cabinet expansion.

He was expected to join Union ministers Piyush Goyal and Mansukh Mandaviya, chief ministers Amarinder Singh (Punjab) and Kamal Nath (Madhya Pradesh) and over 100 Indian CEOs at WEF’s 50th annual gathering on January 21-24.

“Mostly, I may not go for Davos (meet),” he told reporters on Thursday. Last week, he had said he was not keen on travelling to the Swiss town but was considering it as some chief ministers’ attendance was required at the high-profile event.

Eleven Congress-JD(S) turncoats, who contested the bypolls on BJP tickets and won, reportedly pressured Yediyurappa to take a decision on cabinet expansion before the now-uncertain Davos trip; it was even suggested that he should simply cancel the trip. The newly elected BJP MLAs are widely expected to be inducted as ministers. But officials in the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) said his disinclination to travel had nothing to do with the cabinet exercise.

“It’s mainly because of his health. That place (Davos) has got temperature of minus 4-6 degrees and it will be quite tedious for Yediyurappa at the age of 76,” one official said. BJP functionaries, however, claimed that he was wary of taking a trip amid tensions in the party. “The new MLAs have been breathing down Yediyurappa’s neck. They have pushed him into a corner, demanding that he complete cabinet expansion before going anywhere,” a senior functionary said.

On Thursday, the chief minister said he had sought a meeting with party bosses in Delhi. “To discuss cabinet expansion and other important issues, I plan to travel to New Delhi on January 11 or 12. However, I am still waiting for an appointment with the BJP national president and prime minister,” he said.

While Yediyurappa, his additional chief secretary P Ravi Kumar and political adviser MB Maramkal may not visit Davos, a 10-member delegation from Karnataka, including Jagadish Shettar, is expected to travel. There are reports ministers’ family members might join the delegation.
