Welfare schemes, subsidies will go on: Delhi govt

Delhi government runs several welfare schemes such as free power upto 200 units per month, free water upto 20 KL per month, free bus ride for women, free pilgrimage scheme, among others.

“It has been brought to the notice that speculations and rumours are being spread by notorious elements with vested interests in Delhi that with the arrest/remand of chief minister of GNCTD by Enforcement Directorate on 21st March, 2024, welfare schemes and subsidies given by the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi will be stopped.

Even as the law takes its own course in the process of criminal investigation, it merits clarification that the administration of schemes and governance is never specific to individuals and shall continue in the normal course, as in the past,” Niharika Rai, secretary planning, stated in a press note dated March 26 issued by the planning department.
