HC seeks Govt explanation on Aadhaar-Gas link
With Aadhaar card linkage to gas cylinders putting the public on tenterhooks,
Andhra Pradesh High Court has questioned Kiran sarkar whether this new
rule is being implemented in the other states. The time given to the
government by the High Court is a week. This direction came with regard
to a public interest litigation (PIL) filed against by a private
employee challenging the government's decision of linking Aadhaar cards
with subsidized gas cylinders.
The
advocate of the petitioner has told the court that in Hyderabad and
Secunderabad, the process of issuing Aadhaar cards was not even
completed by 30 per cent and it people were finding it difficult for
even enrolling for the card. Further, he said already government has
issued voter id cards, ration cards and pan cards. Therefore, these
cards can be taken into account for issuing domestic gas cylinders,
added the advocate.
