Delhi Implements New Food Security Rules 2025
The Delhi government has made new rules for food security.
They will form committees to check and solve problems in giving out rations.
These committees will be at different levels like the state, district, and local shops.
The government will also give ration cards to people who need them the most.
They found many problems in the old system, like people who didn't qualify or were no longer alive but still getting benefits.
The new rules aim to fix these issues and make sure everyone gets fair access to food.
