It looks like the reception counter of a modern office or hospital. People used to buying goods from ration shops in the State will stop for a while before approaching this counter. Yes, it is a modernised ration shop at Kadampuzha.
The ration shop (ARD number 168) owned by Kadmpuzha Moosa, working president of the Kerala State Retail Ration Dealers Association (KSRRDA), is set to create history when Food and Civil Supplies Minister G.R. Anil inaugurates the modernised ration shop on Saturday afternoon.
“You will not have to go into a congested room any more for billing and collecting your ration goods. You can buy your ration enjoying the high-tech facility,” said Mr. Moosa. According to him, it will be the first high-tech ration shop in the State.
