Cherthala: The crowd for free ration escalated uncontrollably in Cherthala. This is when the clergyman came into controlling the situation. The incident occurred at a ration shop owned by Jasmine Jackson. When the government announced free ration for the COVID 19 period, people flocked to buy it. St. Francis Xavier Church, Fr. Azhikkal George saw this in the community and became aware of the need to regulate and advised people to stay away from hoarding.
