Six litres for families without electricity: Ration kerosene distribution from tomorrow

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Distribution of ration kerosene will start in Kerala from tomorrow. One litre of kerosene will cost Rs 61. Families without electricity will get six litres of kerosene, AAY cardholders will get one litre and other cardholders will get half a litre each. The minister told the media that there were some concerns related to the distribution of kerosene and all these concerns have been resolved.

"Distribution of kerosene will start from tomorrow. Discussions have been held with the ration representatives," the minister said. GR Anil said that the centre has been reducing the kerosene for Kerala for the past several years. 5.676 kiloliters of kerosene has been allocated for the first quarter of this year. Due to the shortfall in kerosene allocation, many wholesale depots were non-functional for more than a year.
