Delhi Govt. increases kerosene quota

NEW DELHI: The Delhi Government has decided to increase the kerosene quota for ration card holders in the above Poverty Line category by two litres.

This was approved at a Cabinet meeting, chaired by Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit here on Monday, after it was found that Delhi was not lifting its entire quota of kerosene due to reduction in the number of ration card holders, Food and Civil Supplies Minister Raj Kumar Chauhan told reporters on Tuesday.

``The Central government's sanctioned quota of kerosene oil for the capital is 18,040 litres on a monthly basis. But the Food and Civil Supplies Department is lifting only 16,800 litres. To ensure 100 percent lifting, we have decided to enhance the quota by two litres from 8 to 10 litres per rationcard,'' he added.
