The meeting issued an order to Deputy Commissioners of districts to increase employment opportunities provided through BAFFACOS fund by two-fold and to hand out funds to victims of the famine which has ravaged majority of the crops in the State.
The Cabinet also resolved to increase the weekly ration of rice from two kgs to three kgs for every person. This order, however, does not include the eight district headquarters.
The Cabinet noted that the shocking news printed by media persons that Lamherh village is in a state of crisis due to famine is false and urged media persons in the State to have reliable information first before publishing news as they can mislead the people. The Cabinet meeting also issued an order to increase supply of sugar by two-fold during the Christmas season.
The Cabinet meeting assured that the State Government is working for the welfare of the people and urged the people not to be in any state of panic due to the Mautam famine or other disasters.
