Chandigarh, May 6
Union Minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal today said central food relief material for April had not been distributed to the people in Punjab and asked the state government not to deny the poor their due.
Harsimrat said: “Negligible amount of ration has been distributed. This despite the fact that 1 lakh tonnes of wheat and 6,000 tonnes of pulses have been received from the Centre by the state for 1.4 crore people, which is half the population of Punjab.” — TNS
