People in Punjab will no more have to stand in queues; to get ration at their doorstep, announces CM Bhagwant Mann

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Monday announced that people in the state would no more have to stand in queues to get ration as it would be delivered at their doorstep.

In a video shared by the CM, Mann says people will have the choice to opt for the scheme. Those who live near ration depots can get it from the depots. Those who opt for the doorstep delivery will have to tell the personnel concerned at what time they are available at their place and clean and good-quality ration will be delivered to them.Mann said the government had decided to make people’s lives easier as that is what governments were supposed to do. He said the scheme woule be rolled out soon after working out the modalities.Earlier in the morning, the AAP had put out a tweet saying Mann would make a big pro-Punjab announcement later in the day.
