THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Disbursement of rations through biometric authentication is hampered in the state.

The ration supply has been halted because the AUA server at the data centre under the Kerala State IT Mission, which helps in Aadhaar authentication, has been disrupted due to a power outage. The technical team under the leadership of the IT Mission Director is trying to resolve this. Food and Public Distribution Department Minister GR Anil said that in this situation ration shops may not stay open after noon today.
