Do we get flood relief or not is a question that is on the minds of people in the city affected by Cyclone Michaung.
After having borne the brunt of the cyclone, the residents are questioning why tokens were not being given to every ration card holder and the rationale behind sugar card holders not getting the relief amount of ₹6,000.
V.S. Jayaraman of T. Nagar said many rice card holders had returned disappointed as they had not been given tokens. Even officials of the Civil Supplies Department are unable to provide any information why many rice cardholders have not been given tokens, he said. “Both sugar and rice card holders must be treated on a par,” he said.
