SUPPLY SECTION

Public Distribution System commodities, viz. Rice, Wheat, Sugar, and Edible Oil etc. through Fair Price Shops spread in villages all over the State. Since last two years,
supply of sugar and edible oil has been stopped by the Department to these Fair Price Shops due to availability of these commodities in open market at less price compared to Govt. fixed prices.

per person is supplied at present. There is no much demand for rice under
this category due to availability of rice in open market at lesser prices.
