Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh, December 17 –
Haryana cabinet minister Rajesh Nagar said that helpline numbers will be displayed outside all ration depots across the state. This will allow consumers to report any issues they face directly via the helpline number. He said that all calls made to the helpline should be recorded to keep track of complaints and the subsequent actions taken. Mr. Nagar had previously suggested installing CCTV cameras at ration depots to enhance transparency.
Today, Nagar chaired a review meeting at Haryana Niwas in Chandigarh, where he discussed the performance of the department with officers from across the state. He took detailed feedback from each officer regarding the condition of ration depots and supply systems in their respective districts.
During the meeting, officials shared their concerns and discussed the challenges facing the department. Mr. Nagar reassured that he would personally visit any district or village in the state to inspect the ration depots. Regarding the recent issue in Palwal, where sand was found in ration sacks, he ordered the suspension of the Assistant Food Supply Officer.
