You will not have to make repeated trips

Since rice of both months is distributed together, consumers will not have to make repeated trips to ration shops. Besides, the distribution process will also be completed in a systematic manner.

Why was the rice festival delayed?

In Chhattisgarh, Rice Utsav is celebrated on the 7th of every month and rice distribution starts. According to the information, this month the rice festival could not start in the state due to delay in the fear process. The tenders related to the supply of FRK (fortified rice kernel) could not be finalized on time. In such a situation, the rice festival was delayed. Now all the necessary processes for this have been completed. In such a situation, rice distribution will start from February 20.

Let us tell you that rice is being distributed regularly in more than 6000 ration shops in the state. At the same time, the work of delivering stock to the remaining shops is going on. Food Department officials have given instructions to the officials regarding the Rice Utsav that the beneficiaries should not face any inconvenience.
