Sanjeeb MukherjeeAgencies New Delhi
The Centre and Delhi government are all set for another round of confrontation, this time over the latter’s ‘doorstep delivery of ration’ scheme, which plans to use subsidised food grains provided under the National Food Security Act (NFSA).
 
The Centre said this was not permissible under the law. 
 
It, however, added that it will have no objection if the Delhi government comes out with a separate scheme without mixing the elements of the NFSA. Earlier, sources in the Delhi government had claimed that the Centre had stopped the scheme, scheduled to roll out later this month.
