    After Ganga Jal, Indian post offices to sell pulses
  • Having successfully delivered 'Ganga Jal', now the Indian post offices will start the sale of pulses at subsidized prices.

    This is a central initiative to sell the buffer stock of pulses through the post as the state governments had not shown interest in disposing buffer pulse stocks.

    The government has decided to use the postal network in the absence of government outlets for distribution.
