State Goes Slow on Food Security Act

National Food Security Act and the action plan mooted by the Centre has not yet been implemented, serious implementation will help arrest inflation within a specific time frame.
State government has to complete setting up of warehouses to store foodgrain, an end-to-end computerized network linking depots to retail vendors to monitor foodgrain movement and fast-track courts to crack down on hoarders tasks at the earliest
No more BPL and APL cards instead priority and non-priority ration cards has to be worked up on, which is still pending and no meaningful steps have been initiated so far
Differences over the poverty estimates prepared by the Planning Commission has to be ironed out, if center estimates the many families would have to opt out of TPDS
The proposed mission needs a routine intervention and aspects that has to be looked up on are expeditious disposal of complaints on distribution of entitlements, appointment of district grievance redressal officers
Beneficiaries are accepting the implementation of the Act which will eventually lead to a cut in the foodgrain quota
If the center decides to squeeze in the deadline then state will have a tough time
