J'khand recalls PDS-Aadhaar linking after starvation death
Jharkhand Food Minister Saryu Rai on Saturday passed an order stating it is not mandatory to link ration cards with Aadhaar numbers to avail services under the Public Distribution System (PDS). This comes after an 11-year-old girl starved to death after her family was allegedly denied food under the PDS as their ration card was not linked with Aadhaar number.
