As a part of the State Government's initiative, the Deputy Commissioner of Thoubal today handed out regenerated ration cards issued under National Food Security Act (NFSA) to households displaced by the ongoing ethnic crisis and are taking shelter in four relief camps in Thoubal.
Speaking at the occasion, DC Thoubal A Subhash said that the ration cards handed out today were regenerated from the previous cards of the displaced people from Moreh whose houses have been razed to the ground with other properties and important documents.
As many as 18 AAY cards, 188 PHH cards have been regenerated so far for use by the displaced folks through the department of Consumers Affairs, Food and Public Distribution (CAF&PD), he said.
Households holding AAY cards will be receiving as many as 35 kg of rice each while PHH card holding households will be receiving 5 kg per head in the household, the DC said while adding that the initiative will help alleviate the hardships of the relief camp inmates to a certain level.
Thoubal District Supply Officer, Shanta Sarungbam was also present.
