Later, Mr. Yuvaraj inspected the local ration shop and asked the Joint Collector over telephone to send the District Supply Officer to the shop and ensure supply of commodities when local women complained to him that they had not been getting their ration for the last seven months.
At the local ZPP High School, he interacted with pupils and made them read English lessons.
