The Hindu
58.41 lakh of 91.02 lakh eligible get kits
The Food, Civil Supplies and Consumer Affairs Department has decided to extend the supply of Onam special food kits to ration card holders, probably until August end or even beyond. The decision was taken as the department was unable to meet the distribution targets. While the department had planned to wind up the programme by August 16, only 58.41 lakh of the registered 91.02 lakh ration card holders in the State could be provided with the kits by 5 p.m. on Thursday.More Related News
