Pongal gift distribution continues amid glitches

JANUARY 09, 2019 00:00 IST

Distribution of Pongal gift pack, which includes a cash component of Rs. 1,000 this year, continued for the second day in all fair price shops across the district amid minor glitches.

While a number of shops did not begin distribution on Monday owing to delay in arrival of stock, officials said the distribution took place in all shops on Tuesday.

However, R. Saraswathi, who came to collect the gift at a fair price shop in Tallakulam, said although she came in the morning she was asked to come in the afternoon due to non-availability of stock.

Collector S. Natarajan inspected the distribution in at least four fair price shops.
