New e-POS Machines Roll Out to Improve Ration Distribution
The State Civil Supplies Department is giving out new e-POS machines to help people get their food rations easier.
These machines use new technology like eye scans, smart cards, and fingerprints to make sure the right people get their food.
Training was given to dealers to show them how the new machines work.
The goal is to make the process faster and smoother, especially for seniors and those with disabilities.
Starting September 26th, all the shops in the district will use these new machines.
The State Civil Supplies Department introduced 1,367 new e-POS machines.
Distribution was launched at the District Collectorate on Friday.
Training programs were conducted to familiarize dealers with new features.
Machines utilize iris scanning, smart cards, and fingerprint authentication.
The upgraded system aims for faster, smoother ration distribution.
