The district administration has listed 10 outlets with contact persons, signalling an effort to ensure physical access, but the release does not specify the total quantity available or how long the scheme will run. Residents must verify stock availability by phone before visiting, as no end date has been announced. ## Coverage - thehindu.com Straight announcement-style listing of outlets and prices, no framing or commentary.
