The Delhi Cabinet in its meeting on Tuesday expressed “disappointment” over Chief Secretary Anshu Prakash “not doing anything” regarding an enquiry into
irregularities in ration distribution.
The Chief Secretary attended the first Cabinet meeting since the alleged assault on him in a meeting at Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's residence on February 19. Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders had claimed that the Chief Secretary was being questioned over problems in ration distribution raised by party MlAs during the meeting at Kejriwal's residence.
“The Cabinet expressed disappointment that the Chief Secretary did not do anything regarding an enquiry directed by the Government into violations in implementation of point of sale (POS) device for ration distribution, and a proposal for doorstep delivery,” Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia told the media after the Cabinet meeting.
The Chief Secretary was asked in the last Cabinet meeting to inquire into violations in POS that is resulting in problems faced by the people in getting ration, Sisodia said.
“People are not getting ration and the CS did not do anything in past one week. He has now been directed to give a report in two weeks over deviations and violations in POS implementation. He was also asked to bring a proposal on door step delivery of ration, in the next Cabinet meeting on March 1. POS will work smoothly if both offline and online systems work together,” he added.
The Cabinet had decided for offline data so that it can be compared with online data and mismatch can be detected, he said.
