Bhubaneswar: The names of over 16 lakh ration card beneficiaries have been deleted during the last 8 years due to their death of ineligibility, said Odisha’s Food Supplies and Consumer Welfare Minister Krushna Chandra Patra.

Replying to a question by Congress MLA Sofia Firdous, the Minister informed the state Assembly that total 16,27,920 names have been removed from the ration card beneficiaries list since 2016-17.
