Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia today claimed the Delhi government has found "open theft" in delivery of ration in the city and demanded suspension of food and supplies commissioner.

Sisodia also demanded Lt Governor Anil Baijal okays the AAP government's ambitious scheme for doorstep delivery of ration and stop the existing e-PoS (Electronic Point of Sale) system, under which beneficiaries are given ration through biometric identification.
