POONCH: Deputy Commissioner Vikas Kundal chaired a review meeting here today to assess the working of the Food Civil Supplies and Consumers Affairs Department.

Assistant Director FCS&CA Adil Shabir and all Tehsil Supply Officers (TSOs) of the district attended the meeting.

At the outset, the Assistant Director FCS&CA gave a detailed presentation regarding the functioning of the department. He said that the district has ample stocks of essential commodities including wheat, rice, LPG, petrol and diesel.

A thorough discussion ensued and the DDC reviewed the status of e-KYC/e-Shram/NFSA/Non-NFSA & PMFSS schemes focusing on three categories of Non- Priority Households (NPHH), Priority Households (PHH) and Antyodaya Anna Yojana (AAY). He reviewed the current status and issues faced by the TSOs from various zones in the district.

The DDC reviewed E-KYC reports from each zone and asked the TSOs to complete the E-KYC registration in their jurisdictions. He also discussed issues related to online transactions, instructing officers to only provide ration through online mode. Manual or offline ration provision is not permitted only in areas having network issues. The Assistant Director was asked to review the network location of the offline PoS Machine again.
