Minister Urges Central Government To Increase Food Supply In Himachal Pradesh

The Indian government sustains only 700,000 people out of 3.3 million population in Himachal Pradesh through the Food Security Act.

G.S. Bali, Food and Civil Supplies Minister of Himachal Pradesh urged the central government to implement the National Food Security Act in totality, besides providing more ration at cheaper rates to the targeted population.

He raised this demand at a meeting organized here under the chairmanship of union Minister for Food and Consumer Affairs Ram Vilas Paswan.

Hills in Himachal Pradesh Miss the Warmth of Piping Hot Maggi Noodles
The two-minute Maggi noodles was the best option available in the hilly areas for the tourists where vegetables are not grown due to cold climatic conditions.

Bali said Himachal was among those few states which have implemented the Food Security Act.

He said being a hilly state, Himachal Pradesh was dependent on the central government for food grain and therefore it was necessary to provide more food grain and create more storage and other infrastructural facilities to meet the needs of the state.

The minister said: "A population of 33 lakh has been identified under the Food Security Act in the state but so far the central government was providing ration for 700,000 people only which was a matter of great concern."
