Delhi Ration Delivery

Standing in queues to collect ration from fair price shops is not against the right to dignity and privacy and it is "only civil" to queue up if several people land up at an outlet at the same time, the Delhi High Court ruled on Thursday.

The Delhi High Court Thursday set aside the AAP government's doorstep ration delivery scheme, Mukhymantri Ghar Ghar Ration Yojna.

Once the Punjab government implements the policy of doorstep delivery of ration to people, citizens in others states too will "start demanding" it, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said on Monday.

The Delhi government's scheme for doorstep delivery of ration cannot be sustained in law in the absence of approval from the Lieutenant Governor and the Centre, the Delhi High Court was told on Monday.

The Delhi government Monday defended its Doorstep Delivery of Ration Scheme before the Delhi High Court, saying that it is a "complete misconception" that fair price shops cease to exist on implementation of the scheme.

The Supreme Court on Monday declined to interfere with the Delhi High Court interim order which cleared the way for the Delhi government's doorstep delivery of ration scheme.

The Delhi High Court today sought the response of the centre and a body of government ration dealers on a plea seeking to recall an order directing the state to disclose particulars of PDS beneficiaries to the fair price shops licencees.

Delhi Government on Tuesday again sends the proposal of doorstep delivery scheme for ration to Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal.

The Delhi High Court has given a green signal to the Delhi Government to divert ration delivery to cardholders at doorsteps if there is no shortage in fair price shops.

The Centre has suggested the Delhi government to implement the doorstep ration delivery scheme on a pilot basis as there is no clarity on many fronts, including rates at which wheat flour and packaged foodgrains will be distributed.

The AAP government on Wednesday said the Centre "rejected" its doorstep ration delivery scheme on "funny excuses", with Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal asking how the country will progress amid so much dispute and politics.

The AAP government has sent a file on doorstep delivery of ration to Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal, making a fresh bid to get his approval for the scheme, according to a statement from the Delhi Chief Minister's Office on Thursday.
