00:00There are 1,46,074,000 ration cards in the state, and 4,26,000 people are being provided with rice every month.
00:12The state government spends an average of 46 rupees per kg.
00:1746 rupees is 10 paisa.
00:1946 rupees is 10 paisa, correct sir.
00:22An organized mafia has created a system for its own benefit.
00:34It is very saddening.
00:36Even today, many families depend on this system.
00:40They wait for the ration to arrive.
00:42But how did they change the system?
00:45PDS Rice is only for smuggling.
00:47It is an illegal activity.
00:49It has created a deep-rooted mafia.
00:51It has caused a huge loss to the state.
00:53It is very saddening.
00:55All the old houses have been demolished.
00:58Every year, the production of rice in the state is 1,20,000 metric tons.
01:04In that, we get 80,000 metric tons in the market.
01:07Out of the 80,000 metric tons, 40,000 metric tons are sent to the millers for custom milled rice.
01:13Out of the 40,000 metric tons, 30,000 to 32,000 metric tons are used for PDS rice.
01:20The state government gives the balance stock to the Food Corporation of India.
01:24Wherever there is use in the country, the millers change it.
01:28This wonderful program is being carried out in that way.
01:31Some people want it for their selfishness and for their own benefit.
01:35It has caused a huge loss.
01:37In the last five years, we have produced 76,854 metric tons of rice.
01:45In just six months, we have produced 60,000 metric tons of rice.
01:52Almost 78% of what the previous government has done in the past five years, we have done in the past six months.
02:00For the first time in the state, under section 7 of the Essential Commodities Act, we are amending cases.
02:07We are booking criminal cases.
02:09Under section 316, 318, and 319 of the PD Act, we got the approval for the first time.
02:23But the PDS rice smuggling is now part of an organized network.
02:29As repeated offenders, we have brought about changes in the law.
