Chandigarh, June 7- Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant singh Mann on Friday said that the state government is duty bound to ensure uninterrupted supply of ration to the beneficiaries under Ghar Ghar ration scheme. Chairing a meeting to review the scheme here today, the Chief Minister said that due to  their vested political interests some rumour mongers had spread canards that a huge reduction has been made in ration by the state government.

He said that this was baseless and unwarranted as all the beneficiaries are getting the facility under the scheme and full ration is being given to them. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that he has already sought report pertaining to it from all the Deputy Commissioners across the state so that beneficiaries get the benefits of the scheme regularly.

The Chief Minister expressed immense pride and satisfaction for the entire state as the ration is being distributed to the beneficiaries through Model Fair Price Shops (MFPS) set up across the state. He said that 1.54 crore Beneficiaries are getting the ration through 40.19 lakh ration cards and this will continue by all means. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that the scheme envisages smooth and hassle free delivery of ration to the people.

The Chief Minister said that Gone are the days when people had to face a lot of inconvenience for getting the food grains under the National Food Security Act by waiting in long queues. He bemoaned that people had to face undue harassment while getting these grains most of the time while skipping their daily work or during the odd hours.

Bhagwant Singh Mann stated that the distribution of ration in the vicinity of the beneficiaries has ushered in a new era. This change means beneficiaries won’t need to stand in long queues, especially in inclement weather conditions. This approach ensures the delivery of nutritious food grains while saving their time, money, and energy.
