Mumbai, Apr 04: Around 30,000 bogus ration cards have been cancelled in the metropolis, Maharashtra food and civil supplies minister Sureshdada Jain told the State Legislative assembly here today. The rationing officers identified 30,000 such ration cards and subsequently cancelled them, Jain said replying to a question raised by Meenakshi Patil (PWP) and others during the question hour regarding distribution of ration cards through illegal means from the rationing office of Kandivali. Bala Nandgaonkar (Sena) claimed that several Pakistani and Bangladeshi nationals, staying illegally in the city, have acquired bogus ration cards.
Jain said appropriate action would be initiated in this regard. Bureau Report
