CPI (M) staged demonstrations in front of fair price shops and Ration shops across Tamilnadu on Friday demanding the Central government to
ensure food security . Demonstrations and Dharnas were organised in more than 1000 places. CPIM urged the Centre not to reduce its allotment of rice and
kerosene to States. They asked the State government to provide 35 kilos
of free rice in fair price shops. Poverty line set by Central government
should not be unrealistic. There should not be any delay in the supply
of cooking gas cylinders and they must be supplied through fair price
shops. Fair price shops set up by the State government are not
functioning fairly and many consumers have expressed dissatisfaction
over the negligence of officials, who failed to monitor activities of
employees deputed to such shops. CPIM Stressed its
importance and asked to seek attention of authorities concerned to sort out
shortcomings in the management of public distribution system.
