The dignitary family earlier visited Srirangapatna and Chamundi Hill. On their arrival in city they were welcomed by City BJP President Dr. B.H. Manjunath and other leaders.

Speaking to press persons at Government House here yesterday Prahlad Modi, who is the Vice-President of National Fair Price Shop Owners’ Association, said that the Anna Bhagya scheme of the State and similar ones in other States have not been implemented properly with repeated amendments posing problems to distributors also.

He urged a National policy on Public Distribution System (PDS) as the existing one governed by States has many shortcomings resulting in impulsive decisions by senior officers of the Department. He asked all States to emulate Chhattisgarh which has a good PDS.
