Summary:
Of the 2,132 card holders, around 1,500 are eligible for the free dhoti and sari scheme of the State government. However, due to pressure from the beneficiaries, the two outlets went ahead and distributed the dhotis, deciding to inform the consumers when the saris arrive. Incidentally, there are two more PDS outlets — EA–200 and EA–035 — on the same stretch of Veeramamunivar Salai for other consumers. However, we have no idea when the dhotis will arrive,” says official in-charge of the outlet. Residents have demanded that a similar arrangement be made at EB–067 PDS outlet too..
