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.
