Sugar and pulses to be included in ration: Assam government
The Assam government has announced the inclusion of sugar and pulses in the ration system to help stabilize prices during periods of inflation. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma made this announcement while launching the first phase of distributing new ration cards in the Jaluhabari and Central Guwahati assembly constituencies of Guwahati.
The Chief Minister highlighted that the initiative aims to provide essential commodities at affordable prices to beneficiaries, ensuring food security for vulnerable sections of society. Additionally, as part of the ongoing support, the government will continue to distribute 5 kg of free rice to each ration cardholder until December.
