India/Thiruvananthapuram: All ration card holders in the state will be ensured to get ONAKIT and special arrangements will be made to avoid overcrowding in ration shops, Food and Public Distribution Minister G. R. Anil. ONAKIT has been distributed to 7 lakh cardholders as of 10 am on August 25. Special days have been fixed for various categories of cardholders to purchase ONAKIT to avoid a rush.
