PDS dealers sometimes divert the grains to open market to get better price. When the ration shops are unable to sell their food grains a large amount of food grains pile up with the FCI . Earlier the ration shops used to give all the people the food at a lower price ,even to the people with an APL ration card but now the people with different ration cards are sold food at different prices.
