Govt to restore 2 kg wheat under Anna Bhagya for North Karnataka.

With just six months to go for the assembly polls, the government has decided to reintroduce wheat supply under the Anna Bhagya scheme in order to woo North Karnataka voters. The move will be implemented in 13 districts of the region. Food and civil supplies minister U T Khader said beneficiaries will get 2kg of wheat along with 5kg of rice. Citing little or no demand for the foodgrain, the government had discontinued its supply over the past six months and was providing only seven kg of rice under the scheme.
