Kerosene quota on ration cards has also been slashed

Thiruvananthapuram: The government has reduced the supply of kerosene to ration card holders once in three months.

The AAY (yellow) and PH (pink) ration cards in electrified households will be given one liter and NPS (blue) and NPNS (white) cards half a litre every three months, according to the Food and Public Distribution Department. Earlier, all these category cards received half a litre per month.
