सविनय निवेदन इस प्रकार हैं कि मै भुवन जोशी पुत्र स्वर्गीय श्री लक्ष्मी दत्त जोशी ग्राम गागर पोस्ट आफिस गागर का स्थायी निवासी रोजगार के लिए अपने परिवार के साथ दिल्ली में रहता था और दिल्ली का राशन कार्ड महिला मुखिया 2014 में मेरी पत्नी भुवनेश्वरी के नाम से बना हैं जिसका राशन कार्ड नम्बर हैं 77004299178,
मै एक छोटा सा होटल रेस्तरां का प्रायवेट कर्मचारी था पर मार्च महिने से कोरोना महामारी के कारण लाँकडाउन की वजह से बेरोजगारी के कारणवश में प्रवासी होने के नाते जून महीने में पूरे परिवार के साथ 14 दिन के सरकारी कोरनटायन रहने के बाद अपने गाँव जो कि उत्तराखंड राज्य के चंपावत जिला ग्राम गागर पोस्ट आफिस गागर में रह रहे हैं मेने जून महिने तक का राशन दिल्ली में ले लिया था और अब वन नेशन वन राशन कार्ड 1जून से उत्तराखंड सहित देश के 24 राज्यों मे लागू होने के साथ। मुझे अपने गाँव गागर जिला चम्पावत (उत्तराखंड) में उत्तराखंड के स्थायी निवासी और एक बेरोजगार लौटे प्रवासी के रूप में राशन मिलना चाहिए था, लेकिन जब मैंने अपने गाँव में सरकारी राशन विक्रेता से बात की, तो उन्होंने इस बात से साफ इनकार कर दिया कि हमारे पास ऐसा कोई आदेश नहीं है।और यह अभी यहां होंगा भी नहीं क्योंकि हमारे पास जितने राशन कार्ड हैं, उतना ही राशन आता है , हालांकि उनके पास बायोमेट्रिक मशीन भी हैं। क्या यह वन नेशन वन राशन कार्ड का सच है? क्या मुझे राशन कार्ड होने के बावजूद राशन से वंचित रहना पड़ेगा महोदय इस पत्र पर विचार करें मेरी सहायता करने की कृपा करें और उचित संज्ञान ले। बेरोजगार लौटा प्रवासी भुवन जोशी
