Officers asked to ensure social justice

Speaking at a meeting on Saturday, he warned the officers not to cause undue delay in issuing caste certificate to members of backward classes. Out of the 563 Fair Price Shops in the district, barely seven have been allotted to Backward Classes, 28 to Scheduled Castes and 17 to Scheduled Tribes. Thus, the scheduled category has been meted out a raw deal in ensuring social justice, he noted and cautioned the officers to be careful while sanctioning FPS in future.
