The financial hardships faced by the Kerala State Civil Supplies Corporation (Supplyco) will have no impact on the government’s market intervention efforts planned for the Onam season, Food and Civil Supplies Minister G.R. Anil has said.
Addressing a press conference here on Friday, he added that steps had been adopted to ensure adequate supply of essential commodities in Supplyco outlets. He, however, refused to comment on whether the government intended to distribute Onam kits this year.
The Onam fairs organised by Supplyco would be held from August 18 to 28 this year. Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan would formally inaugurate the fair at the Putharikandam grounds here on August 18. The district, constituency, and taluk-level fairs would be launched on August 19 and 23 respectively.
