Raipur
A big fraud of ration cards has emerged in Chhattisgarh. In this, Raipur Rajdhani is first with 19,574 fake ration cards and Durg is second with 18,112. Investigations of data prepared under the One Nation One Ration Card Scheme revealed that more than 46 lakh members are suspicious.
Among them, a large number of families who added duplicate Aadhaar cards, names of dead persons and fake documents to the ration cards.
