Before the festivals, the Delhi government has given a big gift to the people of the capital. Rekha government has announced that the poor will get free gas cylinders on the occasion of Holi and Diwali. This decision has been taken in the cabinet, in which this gift will be given to the poor on completion of 1 year of Rekha Gupta government. BJP had also promised this in its manifesto.
Delhi government has approved Rs 242 crore from the cabinet. Which will be transferred directly to the accounts of the beneficiaries. Every beneficiary will get Rs 853. About 17.5 lakh ration card holders of the capital will get the benefit of this scheme. Let us know what CM Rekha Gupta has said regarding this.
CM Rekha said, congratulations to the families of Delhi. Today we are fulfilling a promise. Free cylinder will be available on the occasion of Holi and Diwali. For this, the cabinet has passed a fund of Rs 242 crore. The cylinder money i.e. Rs 853 will be sent to ration card holders through DBT. Similarly all other promises will be fulfilled.
Along with this, CM wrote in a post, the construction of developed Delhi is starting from every assembly. Funds worth crores of rupees are being released for every assembly. So that basic facilities are strengthened, infrastructure is developed and citizens can get better, easy and respectable facilities. A developed assembly is the foundation of a developed Delhi.
He said, Chandrawal's new water treatment plant is going to start in 2026. Since 2012, this project was repeatedly postponed, diverted and stuck by the then governments, due to which the budget of this project increased by approximately ₹ 400 crores. Now with the cooperation of the Central Government, this water treatment plant is going to provide clean drinking water to more than 30 lakh Delhiites including Model Town, Sadar Bazaar, Chandni Chowk, Matia Mahal, Ballimaran, Karol Bagh, Patel Nagar, Rajendra Nagar and RK Puram assembly constituencies.
A separate budget provision has also been made for this in the Union Budget this year. The progress of this project was reviewed in detail in a meeting held today at Delhi Secretariat with Cabinet Associate Parvesh Sahib Singh and officials of the Water Department. Instructions were given to ensure timely completion.
