Despite this, if depot holders have any grievance, they are free to discuss the same instead of going on strike, he added. Kamboj said that the state government has introduced online ration distribution system to end corruption and make ration easily available to the consumers.

He said that to ensure complete transparency and elimination of corruption, the state government has taken another important initiative of creation of database of its residents.

After the implementation of database, the citizens would know various services being provided to them by the government and they would no longer have to visit different departments. Those who would fulfil eligibility conditions, the process of providing them services would automatically commence, he added.

The minister further stated that for instance, on attaining the age of 18 years, the process of making voter ID card would be started and on attaining 60-62 years, the benefit of social security pension would commence for the eligible beneficiaries. Similarly, the services like Aadhaar card would be provided to all residents at their doorsteps, he added.
