Aadhaar and Ration card must be linked
Let us tell you that since the government has announced the ‘One Nation-One Ration Card’. Since then linking of ration card with Aadhaar has become mandatory. The government has received news that people are availing the benefit of free ration from different places by keeping more than one ration card. In such a case, emphasis is being placed on linking the Rash card with the Aadhaar card for the purpose of banning it.
