The profit margin for fair price shop dealers (quota holders) in Ballia has been increased by ₹35 per quintal, raising it from ₹90 to ₹125 per quintal. Following this increase, the Quota Holders' Association has expressed its gratitude towards the state government. On Wednesday, under the leadership of district president Anand Singh, quota holders sent a letter of thanks to Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. The letter, intended for the Chief Minister via the District Magistrate, was handed over to the Additional District Magistrate (ADM) and District Supply Officer in the absence of the District Magistrate.

Quota holders stated that this move will provide financial stability to those who deliver food grains to poor and eligible families through the public distribution system. They emphasized that this increase reflects the government's sensitivity towards the problems and interests of quota holders. The letter of thanks specifically acknowledged Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Food and Civil Supplies Minister Manoj Kumar Pandey. The quota holders expressed hope that similar positive decisions would be made in their favor in the future.

Many fair price shop dealers were present on the occasion, including Belhari Block President Anil Tiwari, Tehsil President Dinesh Rai, Bablu Ojha, Jagannath Mishra, Shivji Pathak, Rewati Quota Holders' Association President Om Prakash Pandey, Jitendra Pandey, District Secretary Uday Bhan Pandey, Manoj Verma, and Krishna Mohan.
