In an attempt to give public message that the state has adequate supplies of food grains and that the people should not become panicky in the wake of the threat posed by the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19), the Uttarakhand Govt has decided to provide three months of ration at the public distribution system (PDS) shops in the first week of April. There are 23 lakh ration card holders in the State. Senior cabinet Minister and Government spokesman Madan Kaushik said that the ration would be distributed in the PDS shops in such a manner that they don’t become crowded.
