Govt Will Allay Food Bill Fears : Thomas

Food Minister K.V. Thomas has said he would explain the merits of the Food Security bill, introduced in Lok Sabha on Thursday, to the chief ministers of Tamil Nadu and Bihar who have raised concerns over it and claimed it would not entail such a large financial outgo as feared.

“I will explain them the merits of the historic National Food Security Bill which promises food security for 63.5 per cent of the country’s population,” Mr. Thomas told reporters emerging from Parliament after introducing the Bill.
