|The New Indian Express
CHIEF Minister M K Stalin on Thursday launched the state government's Pongal gift scheme, under which ₹3,000 in cash, along with essential commodities, will be distributed to over 2.22 crore rice ration cardholders and Sri Lankan Tamil families residing in rehabilitation camps across TN.
Kicking off the distribution at a fair price shop in Alandur, Chennai, the CM said the initiative aimed to enable people to celebrate Pongal in a joyful and dignified manner. To avoid overcrowding at ration shops, tokens specifying the date and time of collection have been issued to beneficiaries. The distribution will take place at all fair price shops across TN from January 8 to 12.
