Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Tuesday said the Government has found a gap of around 50 lakh beneficiaries after linking Aadhaar cards with ration cards across the State.
"After the linking exercise, we have found that around 50 lakh beneficiaries have not come (for the service). Some people might have died and some might have moved to other places due to marriages. Unfortunately, there were some fake ones also," Mr. Sarma said.
Addressing a press conference after the Cabinet meeting in Kokrajhar, he said the government is going to save a good amount of money for these unaccounted beneficiaries and accordingly add genuine people to the list.
