Food and Civil Supplies Minister G.R. Anil on Saturday said the government has completed half of the distribution of Onam food kits to the residents of welfare institutions in the State. A kit each is being provided to four inmates of the welfare institutions.
In a statement, Mr. Anil said kit distribution is also completed in 50 out of 136 tribal villages. The kits have also been distributed to 62,018 Antodaya Anna Yojana (AAY) ration card holders as of 7.45 p.m. on Saturday.
He pointed out that the non-availability of certain items such as Milma’s ‘payasam’ mix and RAIDCO’s curry powder had led to the delay in supplying kits in certain places.
