From 24 October, special camps will be set up at all public distribution system (PDS) shops in the district to complete pending e-KYC for new ration card applicants. The campaign is being run on the instructions of the Food and Consumer Protection Department, Bihar and district magistrate Shekhar Anand. On Friday (23 October), sub-divisional magistrate Priyanka Kumari held a review meeting with concerned officials to assess the block-wise status of pending e-KYC applications. She directed all block supply officers to ensure smooth conduct of the camps and timely completion of the pending work. The district administration has urged all applicants whose e-KYC is still pending to visit the camp at their respective PDS shop on 24 October. After e-KYC is completed, applications will be verified and checked for eligibility before new ration cards are issued. The administration has emphasised using available resources to process as many pending applications as possible. Progress of the campaign will be monitored regularly.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

The camps address the bottleneck of pending e-KYC that has held up new ration cards for eligible applicants. The administration has set no deadline or target number for clearances, leaving the campaign's effectiveness to be measured by how many applications are processed. The next step is the verification and eligibility check after e-KYC is completed, but no timeline for that stage has been announced.
