Tokens for getting essentials from ration shops for May will be distributed at consumers’ doorsteps on April 24 and 25, Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami said on Wednesday.

“The tokens will have a specific day and time when ration cardholders can get their supplies. Consumers can collect them from ration shops on the specified day and time,” the CM said in a statement. He insisted that people strictly observe physical distancing norms while collecting rations.

It may be recalled that the State government had earlier announced that ration supplies for the month of May would be distributed for free. Essentials for May for a ration cardholder includes 1 kg of sugar, 1 kg of tur dal and 1 kg of edible oil, besides the usual entitlement of rice.
