Summary:
Tribune News ServiceNew Delhi June 14The Centre on Monday told the Supreme Court that the Delhi Government's claim that it had launched One Nation One Ration Card (ONORC) scheme in the national capital was “misleading” as it was launched only in one circle in Seemapuri area. “Only a handful of transactions conducted in a single circle with about 42 ePoS (electronic point of sale) machines cannot be considered as implementation of the ONORC” the Centre told the SC in a written submission. The SC had on Friday asked the West Bengal Government to immediately implement the ONORC scheme to enable migrant workers to get ration at the place of their work in other states as well. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta had told the court that West Bengal Delhi Chhattisgarh and Assam governments had not implemented the ONORC scheme. The Centre maintained that the ONORC enables migratory NFSA beneficiaries to access the public distribution system (PDS)..
