Benefits meant for B.P.L. families must not be misused and Public spirited citizens have social obligation to bring to the notice of the Government misuse of B.P.L. benefits by ineligible Persons.

please file a RTI, you can even do anonyms RTI, questioning the list of alL BPL issued in your streeet/ward and questioning the eligibility criteria of all those issued.
