Thiruvananthapuram: The distribution of May’s ration quota has been completed, which was extended until June 4 due to heavy rains. As is standard practice, ration shops will remain closed on the first day of the new month for inventory checks, which will fall on Thursday this time.
Since Bakrid has been shifted to June 7 (Saturday), that day will also be a holiday for ration shops. June 6 (Friday) will be a working day.
Food Minister G.R. Anil confirmed that the June quota of food grains has already been delivered to all ration shops. The department is fully prepared to face adverse weather conditions and has instructed officials to ensure the safe storage of food grains in anticipation of heavy rains and possible flooding.
