FEED CATEGORY FOODGRAINS TO ORISSA AND CHHAITTSGARH


Food Ministry has allotted 500 MTs of cattle feed each to the Animal Welfare Board of India in Orissa and Chhaittsgarh for distribution in the drought affected areas of these states. These allotments are made on priority basis from the depots in which these stocks are located.

The Animal Welfare Board of these states can lift either wheat or rice or both subject to the condition that the total quantity does not exceed 500 MTs in each state.

Similar allotments had been made by the Ministry of Food last year during drought to these states for meeting the requirements of cattle feed.
