Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh on Thursday opposed the implementation of cash subsidy transfer under Public Distribution System (PDS), saying it was vulnerable to “misuse”.
In a letter to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, he said any changes in the proposed system should only be done with the State Governments’ consent.
“There are lots of problems in implementation of cash subsidy transfer under PDS. In my view, fair price shops under PDS are the only viable and convenient option for access to foodgrains in rural areas in the State,” he said.
