The Mandal Revenue Office at Palakonda is on its move to implement a bar-coded coupon distribution system for all White color Ration card holders in the 33 Panchayats and 56 Depots that come under its perview.
The Mandal Revenue Officer Kodanda Lokeshwara Rao said that all arrangements for the generation and distribution of the bar-coded coupons were completed and that the office personnel will start distributing the coupons for the eligible between February 21 and 27. He said that the coupons will be given only to the card holder.
