The state government in a statement has mentioned that the tokens for the distribution of ration products would be issued at the houses.
The point is the date and time would be available in the tokens and the people must follow the details given in the tokens. There are many fair price shops across the state of TN and it is now said that the ration products for May month would be given in these shops on 24th April and on 25th April 2020.
It is worth mentioning that when TN state government announced the lock down an amount of Rs 1000 per every ration card was granted along with fee ration products for April. On 2nd April 2020, the distribution of cash amount took place and was followed by the distribution of ration products.
It must be taken into account that the token system was followed earlier also but it created issues as people crowed at the PDS shops. The TN state extended the lock down to 30th April on 13th April for the second time as the Corona virus infection spread could not be contained.
The TN state granted that the ration products for May 2020 could be got in advance but the dates were not mentioned. This was when the lock down time was extended.
