Ration card registration: SMS procedure leaves citizens in lurch

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, Apr 21: Hardline BJP leader and Bengaluru South MP Tejasvi Surya, who had deleted some of his old sexist tweets while contesting for Lok Sabha polls, yesterday deleted deleted his ugly remarks against Arab woman after it went viral and triggered sharp response from  many quarters, including from the Arab world.

In 2015, before Surya became an MP, he had said in a tweet, "95% of Arab women have never had an orgasm in the last few hundred years! Every mother has produced kids as an act of sex and not love. @Tarek Fatah."

The old tweet was picked up some influential members in the Arab community. Many intellectuals and various members of the royal families too have over the past few days condemned the attacks on Muslims in India and called out instances on Islamophobia. They have been highlighting derogatory comments about the Arab community purportedly made by supporters of the ruling BJP. It was then that a few found that even present day recognised leaders like Tejasvi had made similar comments in the past.

As the outrage grew, Tejasvi deleted the old tweet. A lot of BJP supporters on Twitter then started pointing out that Tejasvi Surya had merely quoted Canadian journalist Tareh Fatah, known for his anti-Islam comments. But by then someone had archived the tweet and Tejasvi's response to it in 2015.

In a thread to the same tweet, responding to criticism, Surya had said that these were not his opinion but attributed to Tarek Fatah. He also said that he agrees with Fateh's position that 'Islamofascism was a threat to all civilsations'.

Surya could not be reached for a comment.

However, a source close to Surya, said, "This is a 2015 tweet where Tejasvi Surya was quoting Tarek Fatah from an interview. It is being wrongly attributed to him with malicious intent. The main issue being addressed in the interview was about the barbaric and inhuman practice of genital mutilation of women. If there's any person to comment on it, it has to be Tarek Fatah."

Tejasvi Surya had landed in a similar controversy soon after his nomination as a candidate just ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.

Surya could not be reached for a comment.

The Congress also stepped in to criticise Surya and the BJP, national spokesperson Sanjay Jha said in a tweet, “The BJP gives tickets to Pragya Singh Thakur and #TejasviSurya etc because it helps popularise their hardline bigoted political profile. But the chickens usually come home to roost. Today, India stands embarrassed, humiliated.”

This fellow from the bottom to now educted and trained in rss organization  and in their school. And he was nomnated by the terror rss HQ only to ignite  terror and communal activity and  not form any social work or record. He was elected by WVM poeer and not by peoples choice. One or th other day EVM  secracy will be unlocked  thenall these chaddi Dhaari will be side lined and vanished by the peace loving  PATRIOT Indians.

 

 Now the present ruling party's policy and steps all are 100% jews guideline all behind the screen.

 

But truth  always  leads and Win.  

So blind bhaks must awake and divert  their mind toward TRUTH to lead a peace life in the human society.

Thejaswi or his god fathers will never  support - their group adn policy is entirely diffenetn and they never support or mingle with fellow Hindus.  All must remeber and  think about their beloved family and dependents i/o of rss chaddi.

 

Jai Hind

still now arab belived Hindus are good people, now one by one coming to know their evil mindset which is inside their heart...most of the hindus are nowdays communual, so all muslim must be carefull.

 

one of my hindu friend who is with me from childhood 20 years recently supported CAA and NRC and we divide, till then i never thought that he was like this, i supported him finiancially in all help...

 

INDIA is belog to muslim first then to hindus, we are the front runner of indian independence,

 

so all muslim community first support his community either in job, money, help etc...for them they have their BJP & RSS.

 

Now in saudi & UAE they annonced that any Hindutva militen who is spreading against muslim & islam sitiing in GCC must be reoported without any delay.

 

Hope marons will learn a lesson of their life. Jai hind
