One PIL in Manipur high prayed for proper implementation of the PMGKAY, another PIL has prayed to appoint Nodal Officers to designate appropriate and independent officials as District Grievance Officers in lieu of designating Additional Deputy Commissioners as the District Grievance RedressalOfficers.

The Gauhati High Court has directed the Deputy Commissioner of Kamrup district to issue ration cards within eight weeks as per the National Food Security Act, 2013 to families identified by para-legal volunteers and who fulfill conditions for such cards.

In matter of National Food Security Act Supreme Court observed that though the COVID problems are over, however, issued notice to the centre and other states wherein a number of refugees and asylum seekers who are residing in different settlements are gravely affected due to the COVID19.

The Supreme Court has refused to interfere with the Delhi High Court’s interim order on door-to-door supply of food grains when the Centre appealed against it, after the Delhi Government assured that the scheme will not be implemented till Monday, November 22 when the matter will be further heard in High Court.

The Delhi High Court recently permitted the Delhi government to cut down supplies to fair price shops for those opting for doorstep delivery, noting that “an overwhelming majority” has opted for doorstep delivery. According to the petitioners Delhi government’s door-to-door ration scheme will create an opaque public distribution system that will put numerous beneficiaries at risk, especially migrant workers, covered under the National Food Security Act in Delhi.
