The Cabinet Sub-Committee headed by its Chairman Uttam Kumar Reddy, Ministers Damodar Raja Narasimha, and Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy, has met at the State Secretariat today and discussed closely the sanction of white ration cards. It is said that the subcommittee has come up with a proposal that the annual income should not exceed two lakhs in urban areas and hold 7.5 acres of land for the sanction of new white ration cards. A deep study is being conducted to ensure that no one below the poverty line loses this opportunity.

Minister Uttam Kumar Reddy has suggested to Civil Supplies Department Secretary D.S. Chauhan to immediately write letters to all the members of the Rajya Sabha, Lok Sabha, Legislative Council, and Legislature and take suggestions from them in due dates. Apart from that, he said that Dr. NC Saxena is going to consider the recommendations of the Saxena Committee, which is the commissioner, in sanctioning new white ration cards.
