AAP leader TS Tony further said that thousands of people born after 2011 are yet to find their names in list of beneficiaries and are deprived of receiving ration quota from Government supply and Government is doing nothing to find any solution to this.

He also mentioned about snags faced in the official website of the department due to which delivery of other important services also gets affected.
