Aadhaar made mandatory to ensure poor get food: Govt to HC
The Centre on Monday told the Delhi High Court that Aadhaar was made mandatory to ensure the poor get subsidised foodgrains under the public distribution system (PDS). Stating that around 2.33 crore ration cards turned out to be fake, Additional Solicitor General (ASG) Sanjay Jain said, "The subsidised foodgrains were not reaching the poor. Someone else [was] availing the benefit."
