Some PDS dealers say technical snag persists
The Food and Civil Supplies Department restored normal working hours for ration supply across the State on Thursday.
A section of ration dealers claimed that the technical snag that had necessitated specific time slots for districts last week persisted. Ration card holders were forced to wait for long hours outside the outlets with the dealers claiming that their e-PoS (electronic Point of Sale) machines were unresponsive. Ration dealers claimed the machines were offline despite restarting them repeatedly. As a result, many beneficiaries who found it difficult to collect their monthly allocation during the specified period last week had to return empty-handed on Thursday too, the dealers said.
