No paucity of essential commodities under PDS: Ramesh Dhawala

Shimla, Apr 29 (UNI) Himachal Pradesh Food and Civil Supplies Minister Ramesh Dhawala today said the state government was ensuring sufficient supply of foodgrains and other essential commodities to the consumers through a strong public distribution system.

All essential commodities were being made available in all the fair price shops across the state and there was no dearth of foodgrains, he said in a release here.

Mr Dhawala said the public distribution system was being run perfectly in the state and the government was keeping strict watch to check hoardings and profiteering.

He said that strict action would be taken against the guilty businessmen and no irregularity would be tolerated at any level in public distribution system.

Refuting reports in a section of the press that ration quota had been reduced, he said 'Kale Chane' are being made available in place of 'Malka Dal' at the same rate.
