Only BPL ration card holders will be provided the sugar and flour on the double rate, which is just few rupees less than market rate which a BPL ration card holders cannot afford as per previous rate Rs. 8.50 kg whereas new rate has been fixed Rs. 13.50 per kg Atta whereas in the previous ratio the Atta was provided 20 kgs per ration card whereas presently the same has been reduced to 3 kg per person.
