Delhi govt. sends ration scheme file to L-G again
The Hindu
The move follows HC’s nod for its implementation last week
Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday once again sent the file related to the Delhi government’s ambitious Doorstep Delivery of Ration project to Lieutenant-Governor Anil Baijal.
Last week, the Delhi High Court had allowed the government to conditionally implement the scheme. Mr. Kejriwal appealed to the L-G to approve the scheme so that the beneficiaries start getting the ration delivered at their doorstep soon.
Hearing a writ petition on September 27, the High Court modified its order dated March 22, 2021, allowing the Delhi government to implement the scheme and deduct the supply being given to the Fair Price Shops in proportion to the beneficiaries opting for doorstep delivery.
