Since its inception, Aadhaar card has been surrounded with the controversies. The tussle between govt. agencies on the validity of Aadhaar Card is self-evident. In the beginning, Aadhaar card was only produced by the government agencies but later private players were authorized to do the job.
Instances of overcharging fees by such private players are rampant. The government is constantly battling to monitor and regulate the modus-operandi adopted by private players. However, it becomes a catch 22 situation for citizens when service providers charges higher than prescribed in the name of equipment’s and establishment running cost.
SSK Mainatand centre is getting regular complaints regarding inappropriate charges. The authorities in the past assured the team that it will act strongly as and when a written complaint will come. Recently, some students approached SSK Mainatand to complain about card vendor overcharging, Soochna Mitra explained to them that unless they give a complaint in writing SSK will not be in position to help them out. The group had a small discussion and agreed to give their complaint in writing.
Later, Soochna Mitra Akshya and Sanjay Kumar took the application and met the BDO of Mainatand. The BDO, Shri. Sanjay Kumar Pandya summoned all the vendors to his office. After the discussion the BDO re-issued the directive to all the local vendors to charge the public as per the norms without any fail.
Currently, all the vendors transactions are under government scanner and their services have been temporarily suspended for a while.
