Soon, mobile ration shops stocked with sacks of rice, sugar, dal, and sachets of edible oil and carrying staff armed with point of sale (PoS) devices may crisscross the roads. With just months to go for assembly polls, the state government will roll out within a week 3,501 mobile ration shops across the state to take the commodities to the doorstep. The cooperatives department is working out the logistics, including renting out vehicles to deliver the goods to the needy areas. There has been a growing demand in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic to deliver essentials at the doorstep instead of tackling crowds at ration shops.
