The Food Supply Department has inserted the option of three months of sugar quota in the machines of cheap ration depots. In such a situation, lakhs of ration card holders of the state will get three months’ quota of sugar together this time. Sugar quota of two and three months is being provided to the depots from Civil Supplies warehouses, so that if any consumer is deprived of the Diwali quota, he can also get the sugar quota simultaneously. Let us tell you that in the month of January, three months’ quota of sugar is being provided simultaneously from Civil Supplies warehouses to those depots of the state, who were deprived of the Diwali quota. However, only two months’ quota of sugar was being displayed in the posh machines of the depots. In such a situation, ration card holders were deprived of one month’s quota of sugar.
In this connection, recently members of the State Depot Steering Committee, under the leadership of State President Ashok Kavi, met Secretary of the Food Supply Department, RD Nazim. At the same time, Secretary RD Nazim had issued instructions to the departmental officers that the option of three months should be immediately inserted in the POS machines of the depots. On Saturday, an option for three months of sugar quota has been inserted in the POS machines of the depots of the state. In such a situation, those ration card consumers of the state, who could not even get the quota for Diwali, will be able to buy three months’ quota of sugar at one go in the month of January. State President of the State Depot Operating Committee, Ashok Kavi, has expressed his gratitude to RD Nazim, Secretary of the Food Supply Department, for this. Because with the introduction of three months option of sugar in the vending machines, ration card holders as well as depot operators have heaved a sigh of relief. Because two and three months’ sugar quota is being provided to the depots from civil supplies warehouses. Whereas only two months’ worth of sugar was being shown in the posh machines of the depots. Due to this, ration card holders deprived of Diwali quota were not able to get the sugar quota. It is noteworthy that this time the state government has provided a consignment of 88 thousand quintals of sugar to the depots of the state.
