Free rice distribution to be carried out for two more months in view of pandemic
Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy on Friday appealed to Union Minister of Railways, Civil Supplies and Consumer Affairs Piyush Goyal to release the pending arrears of ₹3,229 crore to the A.P. State Civil Supplies Corporation, as it would come in handy for paying farmers towards rabi crop procurement. During discussions held at Rail Bhavan in New Delhi, Mr. Jagan said free rice distribution would continue for two more months due to COVID-19, adding that effective measures were being taken by the government to overcome the pandemic crisis.More Related News
