The Assam government has announced the temporary suspension of its “Supply of Lentils, Sugar, and Salt at Affordable Prices” scheme for the months of June and July.
According to an official press release, the decision has been taken in view of the ongoing budget allocation process under the state’s financial arrangements.
The scheme, which provides essential commodities at subsidised rates, is expected to resume from August once the budget process is completed.
The government said the suspension is temporary and part of procedural requirements linked to the current budget cycle.
