In Thanjavur taluk, 91 fair price shops have been unable to distribute rations to family cardholders for the past 15 days due to issues with their point of sale (POS) machines. Around 80 employees, supported by the Tamil Nadu Government Fair Price Shop Employees’ Union, presented the malfunctioning POS devices to the Taluk Supply Officer's office on August 21.

They claimed the machines were not functioning properly due to server problems. Authorities informed the employees that distribution of rations had been impacted by server issues at certain shops over the past few days, and they have taken steps to resolve the issue.
