Residents of Ward No. 47, Mohara, in Rajnandgaon no longer need to take leave from work to collect their ration. Newly elected councillor Alok Shroti has introduced a morning ration distribution system, ensuring shops open at 7 AM instead of 11 AM. This change primarily benefits the worker-dominated community, making ration collection more convenient and reducing overcrowding at shops.

Why the Change Was Needed

During his election campaign, Councillor Alok Shroti noticed a major issue: residents had to take time off work to collect their ration due to the late opening hours. As 95% of the ward’s population belongs to the labor class, most family members leave for work early. Previously, the shop’s 11 AM opening time forced many to take leave or return the next day due to long queues.

To address this concern, Shroti worked with the shop owner to shift the ration shop’s operating hours to 7 AM – 1 PM. Now, residents can collect their ration by 9 AM and head to work without disruption.

Positive Impact of the New Ration Timings

  • ✅ No More Work Leave: Residents no longer need to take leave to collect ration.
  • ✅ Reduced Queues: The early morning timing prevents overcrowding.
  • ✅ Improved Server Performance: Shop owner Chandrakant stated that server issues have significantly decreased in the morning hours, ensuring smooth ration distribution.
  • ✅ Increased Resident Satisfaction: Locals appreciate the initiative, as it has made ration collection easier and more efficient.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Why was the ration shop timing changed?

The timing was adjusted to help labor-class residents collect their ration without affecting their work schedule.

How does the new system benefit residents?

The new 7 AM – 1 PM timing allows people to collect ration early in the morning, reducing congestion and eliminating the need for leave.

Has the server issue been resolved?

Yes, the shop owner confirmed that server problems are minimal in the morning hours, making distribution smoother.
