Bihar may not have gained the status of ‘PDS poster boy’ (“How Bihar mended its ways”, May 16), but its progress in this direction shows that if such a State could reduce leakage in the PDS system, there is no reason why similarly placed States cannot follow suit and reform the PDS and National Food Security Act schemes. There should be practical measures in the system of distribution such as deciding a specific day or two in a week or month in order to keep vigil over the system and curb foul play.
