HASSAN, August 10, 2016
Members of Veera Kannadigara Sene, a Kannada group, staged a protest in Hassan on Tuesday opposing the Aadhaar-linked coupon system to distribute foodgrains to ration card holders.
They said the Department of Food and Civil Supplies had not set up centres to issue coupons at all places.
“As there are only a few centres, the ration card holders have to stand in queue for long hours to get them. Government officials have not bothered to respond to their woes,” one protester said, demanding that the department do away with the coupon system.
Sene leaders Thoufik, Anantharaju, Dinesh and others led the protest.
