He checked the quality of packed products after inspecting stocks of essentials in a mini super market attached to a ration shop at New Harbour area. He visited the TNCSC godown at Meelavittaan and checked the quality of rice stocked there after visiting ration shops at Meelavittaan, P and T Colony and Millerpuram.

 “After sending essentials from the TNCSC godown to the ration shops across the district, the details should be forwarded to the Collector immediately so that he can ensure adequate stocks of essentials at all ration shops,” he said.
