Ration supply is likely to come to a standstill in the State from Saturday following an indefinite strike declared by ration transport contractors in protest against Supplyco’s failure to pay their mounting dues.
The agitation is expected to disrupt the supply of ration goods from the Food Corporation of India godowns to Supplyco warehouses and ration outlets.
The decision by contractors to suspend the distribution of ration articles comes in the wake of multiple requests made to seek their dues pending since October last that is estimated to be around ₹100 crore.
