Acting on the direction of district Collector Debaraj Senapati, the BDOs of Aul, Derabish and Rajnagar blocks lodged FIRs on Tuesday against the ineligible beneficiaries of NFSA in their respective police stations.
The move followed after these ineligible beneficiaries were found in the special inquiry that they managed to get NFSA ration cards by submitting fake documents and have been lifting the subsidised food grains under NFSA-2013.
According to Senapti, several allegations had come to his notice from Aul, Rajnagar, and Derabish blocks that some eligible poverty stricken people had failed to get ration cards in the district whereas several ineligible persons had become beneficiaries and were getting subsidised rations after obtaining ration cards under NFSA.

later, the BDOs of Aul, Derabish and Rajnagar submitted the special inquiry report in which it was unearthed that as many as 61 persons in the three blocks had been lifting subsidised food grains with their ration cards. These ineligible beneficiaries managed to obtain the ration card by submitting forged documents.
