'I do not get rations. They say machine does not recognise your fingerprints'

Vardi Devi, a resident of Kukarkheda Panchayat in Bhim Tehsil of Rajasthan has not gotten any ration after the Aadhar linked PDS system started functioning because the machine does not recognise her fingerprints. A sack of wheat from the market costs Rs. 2000 and for a widow, this is an unjustifiable price to be paid for her food.
