Not permissible: Centre stops Delhi govt's doorstep delivery of ration scheme

India Today  

The Centre on Friday asked Delhi government not to implement the doorstep ration delivery scheme, saying it is "not permissible" to use subsidised foodgrain allotted under the National Food Security Act for the ambitious project. In a letter written to the Delhi government on Friday, Joint Secretary in the Union Food Ministry S Jagannathan said the subsidised foodgrains being allocated by the central government for distribution under the NFSA "cannot be used for the operationalisation of any state specific/other scheme under different name/nomenclature other than NFSA as the same is not permissible under the Act.". In his letter to Delhi food and civil supplies commissioner Padmini Singla, Jagannathan said while states may like to enhance the distribution of subsidised foodgrains, including additional entitlements, more subsidy etc, the nomenclature from NFSA to any local state scheme may be misinterpreted by the beneficiaries as state benefit and may give rise to confusion regarding their rights under the Act. AAP slams Centre Reacting to this, the AAP said it is deeply saddening that the central government has asked the Delhi government to stop the 'Mukhya Mantri Ghar Ghar Ration Yojana'.
