Giving relief to the blue ration card holders, the government has now extended the last date of e-KYC from March 31 to May 31. Everyone can avail the facility of free wheat by getting their e-KYC done.
But remember that despite getting one more month, if people show negligence by not getting e-KYC done, then the wheat to be given to the ration card holder from the next quota may be stopped. However, out of the 1.55 crore beneficiaries across Punjab, e-KYC has been done for 1.17 crore beneficiaries. There are a total of 1 lakh 2 thousand 600 blue ration card holders in Pathankot, Jugyal, Taragarh, Narot Jaimal Singh and Sujanpur of Pathankot district.

District Food Supply Controller Rajshree Mehra said that 82.37 percent of the blue ration card holders of the district have done e-KYC. In this regard, our district Pathankot is maintaining its second position in the entire Punjab. To speed up this work, e-KYC of ration card holders is being done by setting up separate camps in Pathankot, Bhoa and Sujanpur constituencies. So far 20 camps have been set up. Assistant District Food Supply Controller Ajay Prinj said that earlier the last date for doing e-KYC was 31st March, now it has been extended to 31st May by the Central Government.
Out of the 542 depots in the district, the wheat quota for the months of January, February and March has not reached about 35 depots. Depot Holders Association President Ram Pal Mahajan said that the depot holders are facing the problem of not getting quota for 3 months. People had started returning without wheat, but now the district food supply officials have assured that wheat trucks have been ordered. Due to this, there will be no shortage of wheat in the depots. ADFSO Ajay Prinj said that to overcome the shortage of wheat, 20 wheat trucks have been ordered from Jalandhar. It will be delivered to the respective depots.
