Aadhaar card woes in Andhra Pradesh
Aadhaar card enrolment scheme started couple of years back in twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad, but the executing company of the enrolment process never opened sufficient centres, as per the GHMC wards. Enrolment was not done free of cost; a minimum amount of Rs. 20 was charged from each enrolling person by the people at the centre. In some centres, acknowledgement slips were not given to the enrolled persons.

According to some news reports, thousands of citizens have either not got the cards, or have been unable to get them enrolled for the same. There are several discrepancies in the cards already issued. There is no announcement for the rectification process. When the Government of India has announced that Voter IDs or Aadhaar cards are provided free of cost, why are people asked to pay for forms, enrollment or rectification of the discrepancies?

At the centres, downloaded enrolment forms or E-Aadhaar enrolled downloaded acknowledgement forms are not accepted. Then why such links are being provided on the websites?

As per the latest announcement, production of Aadhaar card is must to avail subsidised LPG cylinder supplies or scholarships. The Government of India and UIDAI has to clarify on the following issues.

If a person shifts from one locality to another but his Aadhaar card will have the earlier door number. In that case, will the LPG gas distributor accept the card and provide subsidized supply on his new address?

It is requested that the Government of India should immediately extend the deadline by, at least, six more months or it should allow the LPG consumers to produce the below mentioned documents till they get the card.

- Production of acknowledgement slip of Aadhaar Card enrolment

- Production of ration card, wherein his/her LPG connection details are mentioned

- Production of enrolment form duly acknowledged by the concerned centre head, mentioning the date of enrolment to be taken place.

Further, the Government of India should announce the area resident welfare associations to provide the necessary statistics like: how many have enrolled and yet to get enrolled; how many have received the card and how many are yet to receive. The services of GHMC Ward Committee and Area Sabha members should be availed for proper and complete enrolment of all the citizens in the areas. Centres should be opened in all wards of the GHMC area immediately to complete the process at the earliest.

Let us hope that the Government of India and UIDAI will look into the suggestions and announce opening of more centres.
