Since April, 11.12 lakh ration cards in West Bengal have been deactivated, according to Telangana Today.
West Bengal's public distribution system has seen the deactivation of 11.12 lakh ration cards since April, as reported by Telangana Today. The figure represents a substantial portion of the state's beneficiary list under the food security scheme.
The deactivation process is part of routine verification exercises carried out by the state authorities to eliminate duplicate or ineligible entries. Such measures aim to ensure that subsidised food grains reach genuine households.
State officials have not disclosed detailed reasons for the large-scale deactivation, nor have they provided a timeline for re‑verification or reinstatement of affected families. The government is expected to release further information as the review progresses.
