Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur has appealed the Cabinet Ministers, MLAs, Class-I and Class-II Officers and well-off people of the State to voluntarily give up the subsidized ration distributed under Public Distribution System, so that the poor and backward classes can avail the benefit of this scheme.
The Department has already circulated the prescribed form to all Government offices and uploaded the same on website of the Department. The interested person can submit the form to concerned inspector and surrender the subsidy. The ration card of the person/family surrendering the subsidy would be blocked by the Department. Such interested person/family can keep the ration card for other purposes.
Chief Minister has appealed the APL consumers to visit website food.hp.nic.in or office of the Department for surrendering their subsidy under ‘Give up Subsidy’ scheme. For more information people can contact on toll free number 1967.
