GPS tracking devices for PDS in J&K

In response to the damning media reports on the dubious public distribution system, the Jammu and Kashmir government was all set to introduce e-measures to their PDS which included the installation of the GPS tracking devices on vehicles carrying food and other supplies so as to check pilferage.

"The state government has decided to introduce information technology in public distribution system and launch e-PDS in Jammu and Kashmir," state minister for consumer affairs & public distribution Qamar Ali Akhoon said.

He said that a process for tie-up with the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) for successful implementation of e-PDS had already been initiated.
