According to me, the PDS is meantfor the poor people, the card holders. But whatever is given under thePDS is being siphoned off and taken away by some people and enblock it is being blackmarketed. ...(Interruptions)...MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: Please sit down. ...(Interruptions)... It is notnecessary that everybody should get up. Please.DR. K. MALAISAMY: Sir, they should ensure that it should go to theright persons at the right time. ...(Time-bell)...Sir, coming to revamping the Food and Civil Supply Department, itis white elephant. They are not doing its job properly and they should bemade to work. You should also think to reorganize and review itsworking so that they can do their work effectively.(Contd. by 3d/SKC)3d/4.20/skcDR. K.
