The villagers inform that the rations for the residents under the Panchayats of Jariy, Regare, and Udikel, all are to be supplied by the shop of Subodh Sahoo situated in Jariya. For the record, since many years, the rations for the villagers under the Panchayats of Jariya and Udikel have been supplied from the shop of dealer Subodh Sahoo, but the distribution for Regare Panchayat was done by taking the materials to Regare. The villagers tell us that they are given but one day's time to purchase the rations. This increases the difficulty for the villagers. * Only One Day Is Given To Collect Rations
The Blackmarketing Of Rations Meant For The Poor Flourishes Unchecked - 3 Translation of "*rashan lene ki liye sirf ek din ka samay dete hain"* By Dayamani Barla Prabhat City Aaspaas Ranchi, Wednesday, 11 July 2007. (Translation by Vidya Jonnalagadda) The villagers inform that the rations for the residents under the Panchayats of Jariy, Regare, and Udikel, all are to be supplied by the shop of Subodh Sahoo situated in Jariya. For the record, since many years, the rations for the villagers under the Panchayats of Jariya and Udikel have been supplied from the shop of dealer Subodh Sahoo, but the distribution for Regare Panchayat was done by taking the materials to Regare. The villagers tell us that they are given but one day's time to purchase the rations. This increases the difficulty for the villagers. The Secretaries of the *Jameen Bachaav Sangathan *(Save the Land Society), Shivnath, Nande Paahan, and Pushpa Aaind say, "The foodgrains to be distributed to the poor are being looted openly". The number of families in Nidhinya Mahauatoli of Udikel Panchayat is 22. Red Ration Cards have been prepared for a total of 21 families. Mula Munda relates, "We people get just two liters of oil, whereas the Card shows a supply of rice between 12 to 21 kg. The monthly amount of oil is shown as three liters." Lakhan Aaind told, "We people get only two liters of oil, but the Card records 22-23 kg of rice, 12 kg of wheat, and three liters of oil each month". Same is the treatment meted out to all the cardholders. In the name of rations some cardholders get two liters of oil and some get one liter of oil. The villagers lament, "Whom can we complain to; there is no one to side with the poor". Rahi Gop, Kaushal Gop, Arun Badaik, Gopal Badaik, Kalyan Aaind, and Lakshman Aaind said that the dealer had kept their Cards with himself for over a year. Of these, Benedik Aaind has not received his Card back to date. In the meeting on 12 June of the *Jameem Bachaav Sangathan, *the villagers discussed the matter of the ongoing loot of their rations and have decided to make every effort to stop it. * Will the exploited ever get justice? The Blackmarketing of Rations Meant For the Poor Flourishes Unchecked - 4 Translation of "*kya shoshiton ko kabhi nyaay mil payega?**"* By Dayamani Barla Will the injustice being meted out to the poor ever end? Who can stop this? Will the oppressed get justice, because History is witness to the discrimination and tyranny unleashed on these folk. Whenever the repressed people raise their voices, another round of all types of oppression is unleashed on them., whereas the unjust are given every kind of protection. This is the fundamental question before the Government and Administration giving out promises of justice to the law-abiding public. * Will the exploited ever get justice? The Blackmarketing of Rations Meant For the Poor Flourishes Unchecked - 4 Translation of "*kya shoshiton ko kabhi nyaay mil payega?**"* By Dayamani Barla Prabhat City Aaspaas Ranchi, Thursday, 12 July 2007. (Translation by Vidya Jonnalagadda) Will the injustice being meted out to the poor ever end? Who can stop this? Will the oppressed get justice, because History is witness to the discrimination and tyranny unleashed on these folk. Whenever the repressed people raise their voices, another round of all types of oppression is unleashed on them., whereas the unjust are given every kind of protection. This is the fundamental question before the Government and Administration giving out promises of justice to the law-abiding public. The people have complained that even as of today, there are many people in the village whose Ration Cards are being held by the dealers for over a year. The Cards of the following persons are being held by the dealers: Mansuk Horo, Kinu Horo, Sakaan Horo, Champa Horo, Soganaa Horo, Mangaraa Horo, Birasaa Horo, Lakshu Loharaa, Vipait Horo and Joseph Horo. Questions of this kind relating to a scam with rations which is achieved by collusion between all the concerned officials keep rearing their head always. But these people are professionals in looting the grain meant for the poor; they have prepared false documents for their defense, on the basis of which they are let off with a clean chit. The villagers say, "Neither the MLA (Member of State Legislative Assembly) nor the MP (Member of Parliament) have come here at any time till today to take ask about our problems." For the record, the Red Cards are given to the poor not only so that they can draw rations; these cared are also used to avail of other facilities and services from the Block office. The Red Card is especially important for the poor families to avail of health facilities. It is indeed unfortunate that the poor are not able to derive proper benefit from these Cards. The advantages of the Cards are being misappropriated by the local goons and the officials related to this division. Thanks to the rations looted from the poor, somewhere a car belonging to someone is racing down a road, and in some city a palatial home worth lakhs of rupees is being constructed on some other person's name. Holding on to the Red Card issued to poor families is a legal offence, but there is no official, people's representative or leader to take heed of this. -- Jharkhand Forum A Global Network of Jharkhand E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://forum.jharkhand.org.in [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Note: Replying to this email will send an e-mail to 1000+ members of Jharkhand Online Forum.
