New Delhi, Nov 10 (UNI) Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Tuesday provided financial assistance for purchase of LPG cylinders to more than 15 lakh eligible ration cardholder families at an event held at Talkatora Stadium.
Around Rs 142 crore has been transferred through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) to the bank accounts of more than 15 lakh eligible ration cardholder families.
Speaking on the occasion, Gupta said that the Delhi Government is committed to fulfilling its promises, and ensuring that the benefits of welfare schemes reached people directly.
The scheme to provide financial assistance to ration cardholder families during Holi and Diwali was part of this commitment, while the government aims to extend financial support to families during festivals and ease the burden of household expenses.
Transferring the assistance directly into bank accounts makes the process simpler and more transparent, ensuring that the support reaches beneficiaries, Gupta added.

Each family under PMUY received financial assistance of Rs 642, while families in the non-PMUY category received Rs 942 each.
According to CM Gupta, Diwali was not just a festival of lights and celebrations, but also an occasion to share happiness and support one another. She said the government’s initiative was an important step towards providing financial assistance to Delhi’s ration cardholder families during festivals and adding to their happiness.
Speaking on the occasion, Delhi Food and Supplies Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa said that the aim is to increase the savings of women, and another important step towards fulfilling the commitment made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
