Free Ration From June 5 To Even Those Without Ration Cards In Delhi: Sisodia

Mumbai: Delhi government will start providing free ration to the needy without ration cards from June 5, said Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia.

“Ration has started reaching government schools from today. Those who do not have ration cards will also start receiving ration from June 5,” he tweeted in Hindi.

However, last month, the Delhi government has announced that free ration will be provided to all ration cardholders in the national capital for the next two months. According to government data, around 72 lakh people will be benefited from the scheme.

Earlier, Delhi’s Food and Civil Supplies Minister Imran Hussain had said the Delhi government will distribute 4 kg wheat and 1 kg rice per person for free among those not covered under the Public Distribution System.

According to the Delhi government’s estimates, around 20 lakh people who don’t have ration cards will be eligible to receive 5 kg food grain-free as part of these measures.
