CHANDIGARH, JULY 4
The Punjab Deputy
Chief Minister Mr. Sukhbir Singh Badal today ordered the fresh survey of Blue
Card holders (beneficiaries of Atta-Daal scheme) to include all eligible poor
families within the ambit of this scheme.
Presiding over a meeting to review welfare schemes, Mr. Badal said that he was
getting reports that certain eligible poor families were left out during the
old survey of the scheme and were unable to get the benefit of the scheme. He
asked Principal Secretary to Chief Minister Mr. S.K. Sandhu to issue directions
to all Deputy Commissioners in the state to launch a fresh survey of the scheme
to include all eligible poor families in the scheme. He said that a door to
door survey should be organized in every village and town to ensure that no
poor family was left out of scope of this scheme.
Releasing Rs. 180 crore for the Atta-Daal scheme, the flagship scheme of
SAD-BJP Government, Mr. Badal said that it was only scheme in the country under
which 16 lakh families were getting 35kg of wheat and 4 kg of pulses under
highly subsidized rates. Mr. Badal said that it should be ensured that every
beneficiary family of the scheme should get the allocated ration by the 7th of
every month.
Prominent amongst those present in the meeting included Mr. Gagandeep Singh
Brar, Special Principal Secretary to Chief Minister, Mr. D.S. Grewal, Secretary
Food and Civil Supplies, Mr. Manvesh Singh Sidhu and Mr. Ajay Mahajan, both
Special Principal Secretaries to Deputy CM.
