Punjab govt admits to shoddy distribution of ration to poor amid pandemic : Cheema

Chandigarh, Jul 11 (UNI) Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Punjab senior leader and Leader of Opposition Harpal Singh Cheema said the Punjab government had finally conceded to the shoddy distribution of ration by the state government to the needy families during the Corona virus epidemic.
He said the government had admitted to principal irregularities in the distribution of ration to the poor by appointing top officials of the Food and Supplies Department to investigate into the matter and had put a stamp on the authenticity of the AAP's standpoint on the allegations.
In a statement here on Saturday, Cheema said AAP had been constantly raising its voice against the scams from time to time. The party had even staged protests at the district level and handed over memorandums to the government through the Deputy Commissioners.
