The government does not seem to care for the senior citizens, poor and those who are harassed either due to not being computer-literate for one reason or another.
The Aadhaar fiasco is beyond my imagination. Fingerprints not being displayed in some machines, failures in the internet services, faulty computers and the list of excuses goes on. The ridiculous answer by the government spokespersons is that no one is denied rations or services due lack of Aadhaar since this is included in the Act itself!
I fail to understand why off-line backup in infrastructure failures/ emergencies is not permitted! Despite the deadline date for linking being March 31, I am threatened daily by messages warning of disconnection of services.
As a senior citizen, having gone to the offices, as called, umpteen times with the same negative results, linked my Aadhaar with one of my phones (the form admits only one number), paid the service and GST charges, the Idea office now wants me to now go to their Panjim office and Jio is awaiting some government solution.
As a senior citizen, having my identity confirmed with about 10 government issued cards and passport, besides having the Aadhaar and my name in the government gazette being a retired defence officer, I am harassed continuously.
But I refuse to be harassed any more by my government who seems to be hell-bent on making the life of citizens I have mentioned above, and the service providers miserable, for no fault of our own!
