In distributing COVID-19 relief of ₹ 4,000 do not discriminate among Public Distribution System (ration) card holders, the Coimbatore Consumer Cause has urged the State government. In a letter to the Chief Minister, the consumer bod’s Secretary K. Kathirmathiyon said it could not find a reason why the government discriminated among rice, sugar or no-commodity card holders when everybody was affected by COVID-19.
