Delhi to reform food security rules
The Delhi government is changing the rules for giving out ration cards.
They will decide how many cards to give based on how many people live in each area.
They will also check who has cards to make sure only the right people get them.
The government found some people who have cards but aren't using them or have fake cards.
They will also set up a system to help people if they have problems with their cards.
