legislator from Huzur constituency Rameshwar Sharma was gheraoed by PDS beneficiaries of Kolar region who failed to get ration from fair price shop due to technical problems on Wednesday.
Problems in distribution of ration from Fair Shop Price continued and on Wednesday PDS beneficiaries in Kolar created ruckus after they mobbed Rameshwar Sharma demanding proper arrangements of the distribution system which faces technical problems and beneficiaries are not providing with ration.
After Sharma was mobbed he contacted District collector Nishant Warwade and informed him that the beneficiaries are not provided with ration and asked for allowing distribution of ration offline. The district collector replied that the online distribution of ration is policy of the state and he could not make any change at his level.
Annoyed by the reply Sharma said that people would resort to violence after which district collector assigned one Tehsildar and one Assistant Food Officer to monitor and maintain the ratio shop.
Battery drains early, biometric impressions of Aadhar card do not match with the machine, POS machines have Adahar Card and Net connectivity problems, servers faces technical problem from 9 am to 4 pm, lack of proper maintenance of POS machines, lack of trained staff for maintaining machine, technical problems in printers provided by DSK company are among the problems which lead to the disruption of the distribution system.

On Monday more than 3000 PDS beneficiaries protested at Aishbagh area and mild police force was used to disperse the protesters.
