Amid the Covid-19 pandemic, members of the AAP’s SC wing have sought from the government to provide free ration for two months and an LPG cylinder to needy families.

They also demanded that financially weaker people in both urban and rural areas must be compensated.

They said the financially weaker people, who suffered due to lockdown, be paid Rs 10,000 each in cash. A delegation of AAP leaders, including Jeevan Singh Sangholwal, Baljinder Singh Chaunta and Aman Chain Singh, have also submitted a memorandum at the DC office yesterday.

They demanded that pending wages of labourers working under the MGNREGA should be released and their daily wages should be fixed at minimum Rs 600.

The leaders said the government should improve the health infrastructure at government hospitals and more doctors, nurses and other staff should be recruited immediately. The government should provide free vaccination to all people in the state.

The government should provide pension to the elderly, widows, and physically challenged as per the Congress party’s poll promise at the earliest, they added.
