NEW DELHI, MARCH 10. Following an agitation by hundreds of residents of Vikaspuri and New J.J. Colony Hastasal, under the banner of Delhi Shramik Sangathan, the Food and Supplies Department has sealed the fair price shop located in Circle 27 for having failed to supply rations and kerosene oil to ration card holders despite directions by the Government in this regard. The residents had staged a protest in front of the office of the Food Supply Officer, Circle 27, recently to convey their strong resentment at not getting their requisite quota of food grains and kerosene oil from the fair price shop no. 2718 Khandelwal Store. Following an inspection by the Assistant Commissioner (West) Ravi Kant, who found the store not adhering to norms laid down by the Department, the shop was sealed and people of the area were promised a new fair price shop that would be allotted to the people of the area. Earlier, the community people holding Antodaya, Below Poverty Line and Annapoorna cards had highlighted the malfunctioning of the fair price shop, which they alleged had not been functioning as per norms thus denying them their right to food. To make the administration understand their problem, the residents got together and sat on the dharna. Under pressure from the people, the Food Supply Officer of the area informed the gathering that the shopkeeper had been issued a show cause notice and a strict warning. However, when this did not deter the store owner, the authorities went ahead and cancelled his allotment, according to Delhi Shramik Sangathan.
