BPL families will now be able to obtain mustard oil till this date because the deadline for supplying it at Haryana's ration depot has been extended
Haryana News: The department has extended the deadline for taking edible oil from the ration depot of Haryana. The beneficiaries who were deprived of taking edible oil (mustard oil) till the end of the year now have this last chance to get their quota of oil. In the orders issued by the Food Supply Department, the deadline for giving mustard oil to the beneficiaries has been extended till 8 January 2025. Whereas this deadline was earlier only till 31 December 2024.
Had to face trouble in November
According to the notification issued by the Food Supply Department, orders were issued to the ration depot operators of the state to make smooth arrangements. State Food and Supply Minister Rajesh Nagar had also issued instructions in this regard. But it is worth noting that even in November 2024, beneficiaries in some districts of the state were deprived of edible oil, who were given a chance to take mustard oil of November and December together till 31 December 2024.
Food Supply Minister received complaints
Food Supply Minister Rajesh Nagar also said that he was aware of the complaints regarding the non-availability of mustard oil to the beneficiaries from the ration depot in November 2024. Despite this, the situation remained the same in December 2024. In many places, ration depots were found closed. As a result, on the lines of November, the deadline had to be extended till 8 January 2025 due to the non-availability of mustard oil to the beneficiaries in December 2024.
No relief even from the strict instructions of the minister
Minister Rajesh Nagar had claimed not to let any kind of problem occur in the ration system. He had also assured to take strict action on receiving any kind of complaint. During that time, fortified mustard and sunflower oil could not reach the beneficiaries from many ration depots of some districts. He had instructed the departmental officials to facilitate the system for the eligible beneficiaries. But the beneficiaries could not get any relief even in the last month of the year 2024.
NIC is making arrangements.
Instructions were issued to Hafed and Kanfed in the state to send oil in sufficient quantity to all ration depots. Food supply controllers were instructed to make smooth arrangements. Whereas the operators of ration depots have been given the responsibility to NIC to provide relief in the process of getting biometrics from people for the said two months.
