Aizawl, Apr 18 : The Comptroller and Auditor General of India has voiced concern the excess number of family ration cards (FRCs) in Mizoram.
The CAG, in its report for the year ended March 31, 2010, stated that the state’s food, civil supplies and consumer affairs issued excess ration cards ranging between 66,746 to 1,23,570 during 2007-2010.
As a result, Mizoram had an excess number of population ranging between 1,07,708 to 3,70,414 during the period.
According to the report, the department issued 315838 ration cards against the projected 249092 number of households in 2009-2010. The excess population, therefore, came to 370414 against the projected population of 1126067.
In 2007-2008, 311203 ration cards were issued against the projected 187633, making an excess population of 107708.
Even though the projected number of households remained the same in 2008-2009, the ration cards came down to 305997.
However, the population according the FRCs jumped to 1552009 in 2008-2009.
The excess of ration cards came down to 66746 in 209-2010 from 118364 in 2008-2009 and that of population to 370414 from 529637.
Whereas the Mizoram’s population, according to the FRCs issued in 2009-2010, was 1496418, the actual population as per the Census 2011 stands at 10,91,014.
The food, civil supplies and consumer affairs director K Riachho had said recently that they would soon embark on the task of correcting the state’s family ration cards.
