New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal held a digital press conference on Tuesday. During the interaction with media persons, he said, “Every government in the country distributes ration to the poor people of their state in association with the central government. Ever since the ration distribution began in the country, the poor people are facing a lot of difficulty in getting ration. Sometimes you get closed shop, sometimes you get adulteration, sometimes you take more money. In the last 5 years, we have made many improvements in the system of rationing.
He further said, “Today, the decisions our cabinet has taken at 11 am are not less than any revolutionary decision. Today we have approved the scheme of door step delivery of ration in Delhi. The name of this scheme will be ‘Chief Minister Ghar-Ghar Ration Scheme’. Under this scheme, people will no longer have to come to the ration shop, but the ration will be transported with respect. Wheat will be picked from FCI godown and flour will be crushed. Rice and sugar etc. will also be packed and people will be transported from door to door.
CM Kejriwal said, “People will be given the option that anyone who wants to go to the shop and get ration can go to the shop and can use the option if they want home delivery. Home delivery ration will start in the next six to 7 months. Home delivery will be given flour instead of wheat. On the same day the home delivery of ration will start in Delhi, the Central Government’s One Nation One Ration Card scheme will be implemented in Delhi.
The Chief Minister said, “It is a great pleasure for me personally. Because before joining politics, Manish Sisodia and I used to run an organization called Parivartan. Inside the slums of Delhi, they used to work with the poor people and worked for the rights of the poor. When they did not get ration, they used to work to get ration for them. We used the Right to Information Act to get ration to the people. In those days ration of people used to be stolen and full ration was not available. There was an entry in the government papers that we gave ration to everyone and everyone would get fake thumbs. The way we had done door step delivery offer service, similarly door step delivery operation will be a big step in the field of governance.
