SHILLONG: Chief Minister, Dr Mukul Sangma, while answering during the Question hour in the Assembly on Monday, said that the State Government stopped supplying sugar to ration card holders in the city for over a year, owing to Central Government’s failure to allot sugar in the state since June, 2013.

“We are presently taking up the issue with the Centre for re-allotment of sugar to the State,” he said.

He further stated that the main items available to the people through PDS are rice, wheat and kerosene.
