In another letter, Kamal Nath also sought distribution of ration to every citizen in the state amid the country-wide lockdown imposed to prevent the spread of coronavirus.
"I urge you to provide ration for three months to every family in the state fighting the menace of coronavirus and immediately distribute ration for one month to the families to provide relief," Kamal Nath stated in the letter.
The country is currently under a three-week lockdown to prevent the spread of coronavirus, which according to the Ministry of Health and Family Affairs has claimed 19 lives and infected at least 873 others as on Saturday. (ANI)
