Detailed Solution

The given statement is true.
Even after the provision of PDS facilities to a larger section of society, it becomes difficult for some people to avail of them. This happens for several reasons, corruption and malpractices being the major ones. Corruption involves owners selling food stock in open markets at fair prices to make a profit, resulting in a shortage of food for the needy. The owners also mix several items in food grains to earn more. They sell kerosene and oil at prices higher than the issue price to earn higher profits. All these reasons are said to be the leakages in the successful working of PDS, making it difficult for people below the poverty line to avail of it.
