Mohali, May 31

A total of 87,000 persons have been provided with ration, including 15-kg wheat per family member for three months and 3-kg pulses per family for three months, under the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Yojana’ (PMGKY).

Deputy Commissioner Girish Dayalan said the distribution of ration under the National Food Security Act, 2013, is going on at a rapid pace in the district. He said today, 7,000 persons received ration.

He said the distribution work was likely to result in 100 per cent coverage of beneficiaries in a few days.

The Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Yojana (PMGKY) has two parts — Antyodya Anna Yojana (AAY) and Priority Households (PHH).

The beneficiaries under the Antyodya Anna Yojana are 2,032 and those under Priority Households are 1,05,564.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
