In Chhattisgarh, the distribution period for September 2026 rations has been extended to October 15. By September 29, 90 percent of the rice had been distributed to 7.1 million ration card holders.

There's some relief for ration card holders in Chhattisgarh. The distribution period for food grains for September 2026 has been extended until October 15th. The state government took this decision due to the inability to distribute rations to all ration card holders by September 30th due to rain and other reasons.

According to the Food Department, 90 percent of the September rice supply has been distributed to the state's 7.1 million ration card holders as of September 29, 2026. The process of distributing food grains to the remaining ration card holders through fair price shops is also underway.

October's ration will be available until October 31st.
Under the Public Distribution System, the allocation of food grains for September and October 2026 has been issued. The food grains for September have been stored in the state's fair price shops. The ration for the month of September can now be taken until October 15, 2026. The distribution of rice for the month of October will continue until October 31, 2026.

Monitoring in all districts:
According to Food Department officials, providing timely food grains to ration card holders is a priority for the state government. The distribution status for the month of September is being regularly monitored in all districts. The availability, storage, and distribution of food grains at fair price shops are also being continuously monitored so that eligible beneficiaries do not face any difficulties in obtaining rations.

Appeal to the beneficiaries to collect ration on time:
The department has appealed to the ration card holders that those who have not yet collected the food grains for the month of September, should collect the ration from their fair price shop before the last date of 15th October.
