Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Monday said that special camps would be organized at the district, block, and village levels to update the details of the families registered in the Parivar Pehchan Patra (PPP).
Besides this, special counters will also be set up in Additional Deputy Commissioner offices and e-Disha centres, to ensure hassle-free updates of PPP data, Khattar said while chairing a meeting with the Additional Deputy Commissioners held here.
Directing the Additional Deputy Commissioners regarding PPP updations, he said that work of data updation in PPP should be expedited and must be completed by January 25, so that the citizens do not face any kind of problem. "21 different columns including date of birth, income, educational qualification, occupation are being updated in PPP," he informed.
Khattar directed the Additional Deputy Commissioners to make people aware of all the information related to PPP by holding press conferences at the district level.
He said that if the name of any ration card beneficiary has been excluded during data updation in PPP, such citizens can register their complaints on toll-free numbers 18001802087 and 1967. He also directed the officers concerned to give maximum publicity of these toll-free numbers. Directing the ADCs, he said that the message regarding updation must be sent to the registered mobile numbers of such families whose complaints are being resolved.
The Chief Minister said that until the updation of PPP data, the ration will be given according to the already adopted practice. For this, he directed the officers to make additional arrangements of food grains at 7000 PDS shops in the state.
Khattar said that the process of making automatic ration cards through PPP is going on. According to the criteria of Rs. 1.80 lakhs annual income, 12 lakh new families have been included in the BPL list.
He said that the data of citizens collected in PPP has been divided into different categories according to age group and the responsibility of each category has been assigned to a department.
