West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee launched 'Duare Ration' scheme for doorstep delivery of ration on Tuesday at Netaji Indoor Stadium here.
The Chief Minister said that the scheme would benefit over 10 crore people in the state. It was one of the major poll promises of Trinamool Congress during the 2021 state elections held in March-April.
According to the state government, the foodgrain will be supplied to the people through mobile vans. The van will reach 500 metre away for every locality in the state. The government has asked the panchayat, municipality and Municipal corporations to issue a helpline number for booking the foodgrain.
