Mangaluru: DK APL ration card holders get two weeks to link with Aadhaar


Daijiworld Media Network - Mangaluru (SP)

Mangaluru, Aug 22: The state high court has directed the government to extend the time allotted for linking ration cards of APL card holders from Dakshina Kannada district by two weeks. This will be applicable to Dakshina Kannada district alone.

The government had in the past, directed that ration cards should be linked to Aadhaar card numbers. Dayanand Poojary from Ajjibettu village in the district had approached high court through a public interest litigation, complaining that the government had not given sufficient time to link the two. He said that when officials were approached to get the cards linked to Aadhaar, they claimed that the time given for this procedure has expired. Therefore, he had sought two weeks time to enable APL card holders from the district to link their ration cards to Aadhaar.

The division bench of the high court comprising Chief Justice S K Mukherjee and Justice P S Dinesh Kumar, which examined the litigation on Monday August 21 disposed off the petition by issuing the above direction to the principal secretary in food and civil supplies department.
