Answers
Ration shop is one of the methods of public distribution system.
It definitely helps the people, however it has many drawbacks.
The grains at times are hoarded by the dealers and they sell it later in the open markets at a higher price.
They may even carry out many other malpractices. They sell a lower quality of food grains to the people which may cause many health issues and even it means to cheat on the poor consumers.
Ration shops are very irregular, which makes it even more difficult for the masses.
Hii
Many problems have crept up in the functioning of the ration shops, such as -
1. The quality of the rationed articles issued to the poor is much less than what it should be. As a result the poor have to depend on the market for their needs.
2. Some of the ration shop dealers resort to malpractices. They illegally divert the grains to the open market for better gains.
3. Some of the ration shop dealers sell only poor quality of grains.
4. Some dealers do not open their shops regularly and the poor people can not draw their ration quota timely.
5. Still others weigh less and cheat the illiterate poor fellows.
6. Some ration shops are unable to sell their poor quality grains, which become a great headache for FCI then.
7. With the introduction of cards and three different prices for the same articles to the different people, the whole system of PDS has become much complicated.
8. The APL card holders get very little discount at the ration shop because of which they have lost their interest to buy these articles from the ration shops etc.
