New Delhi. The District Food, Civil Supplies and Consumer Affairs Controller has taken action against the depot holder in Hemda village of Karnal district of Haryana for not giving ration without carrying the tricolor. Deputy Commissioner Anish Yadav said that the monthly supply of ration to the depot holder has been suspended with immediate effect. This action has been taken under the PDS Control Order-2009. He said that Dinesh Kumar, the depot holder of Chidav Hemda attached with village Dadupur, was forcibly giving flags to the ration card holders and defaming the department and the government.

After the matter came to the notice of the administration, action has been taken by the District Food Civil Supplies and Consumer Affairs Controller, Karnal.
The Deputy Commissioner made it clear that the government has given clear instructions that the tricolors found at the PDS center are only for the convenience of the public so that those who want to take the flag. They should get it in the village itself and they do not have to go far. He said that no one can be compelled to take the flag. Anyone can take the tricolor from here voluntarily. He said that all the flags left after August 15 will also be returned.
