Ration items supply halts in Assam for two months due to interim budget

Assam's public distribution system will temporarily halt subsidised pulses, sugar, and salt for two months starting June. This suspension is due to the state operating under a vote-on-account budget post-elections. The new government plans to reintroduce these benefits after presenting the full budget in July, with distribution resuming in August. Free rice distribution will continue uninterrupted.
