As of 5 pm on January 30, 68.71 per cent of cardholders (2,23,048) had collected their rations, while 2,51,795 received theirs on January 29.
The door-to-door delivery of food grains faced delays due to a transport contractors' strike but has been running smoothly for the past five days. The civil supplies department confirmed that all ration shops have adequate stock.
The minister urged all cardholders to collect their January ration before February 4. Combination billing will continue in February, allowing distribution based on stock availability in ration shops.
