THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Ration mustering will resume in the state from tomorrow following the central government's ultimatum. The eKYC of ration beneficiaries will be renewed sector-wise from 18th to October 8. The guidelines were issued by the Commissioner of Public Distribution and Consumer Affairs.
The Centre's ultimatum is that if the mustering is not completed by October 31, there will be a reduction in foodgrain allocation and subsidy for the government.
The mustering was stopped on March 17 due to a malfunction in the server of the state IT mission. All members of the yellow and pink card must do mustering.
1.54 crore to be mustered
As many as 1.54 crore members from 41.38 lakh yellow and pink card holders are yet to muster. The mustering will be completed when the members of the card press their finger on the e-pose. Mustering of 45.87 lakh people had been done till March 17.
Mustering should be done at home for bedridden patients
