Talking to the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), Director Food, Civil Supplies and Consumer Affairs (FCS&CA) Kashmir Abdul Salam Mir, said that for the last three years, some districts are being supplied rice in which folic acid, Vitamin B12 and iron is being added.

“Adding one percent of folic acid, Vitamin B12 and iron is aimed at ensuring that the rice being supplied to the people is iron-deficient,” he said. He further added that there is no need to panic as the government is not supplying ‘plastic rice’ to the consumers.
