With
barely three days to go for the deadline to linking Aadhaar (unique
identification number) cards with LPG gas connections, people are
running pillar to posts in getting their names enrolled for the cards.
The original deadline for Aadhaar card to get subsidized gas cylinder
was in the second week of February. However, due to the continuous
uproar from the opposition parties besides the public demand, the Centre
has extended the deadline by a month. And now that deadline seems to be
approaching at brisk speed and number of people for getting enrolled
for Aadhaar is still-more or less-the same.
While
telephone system came in to place a few days ago at some centres in
Hyderabad for a swift enrollment, online system is also made available
by the concerned authority. Astonishingly, when it came to Andhra
Pradesh, the online slot booking for Aadhaar reportedly failed terribly.
In the
Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDIA) website, there's an
option 'get an appointment.' Upon clicking this page, a user will be
redirected to a new web page wherein one can enter details and submit
the same for an appointment. What's even more astonishing is that in the
state/ut option, Andhra Pradesh is no where to be seen.
The public expressed their grievance over the same and asked the concerned officials to look into the same.
