As much as 5 kilograms of sugar is to be bought by an individual through their identity card with 2 additional bags each weighing 2 kilograms. The person in charge of managing distribution is the Cane Commissioner.
Remedial Steps for Distribution Grievances

The authorities now plan to monitor implementation to help ensure fair distribution throughout the month of Ramadan.
