JAIPUR: Deputy chief minister and PCC president Sachin Pilot on Tuesday called upon Congressmen to continue to help in providing food and ration to the needy, and fodder and water arrangements for livestock.
Pilot was speaking to the Congress Lok Sabha candidates through video conference on the relief work carried out by the party during the lockdown.
The Lok Sabha candidates emphasized on the need to ensure provision of ration for the needy other than those eligible for food security and Antyodaya schemes and providing fair prices for the crops to the farmers, besides ensuring the supply of drinking water during the summer months.
Congress leaders expressed their gratitude to Pilot for sanctioning Rs 50,000 for distributing sanitisers and masks to each gram panchayat. Pilot emphasized that the Central government should formulate a comprehensive action plan to bring back the residents and workers who have been stuck in other states.
He said in view of the coronavirus pandemic, in rural areas under the MGNREGA, more incentives are being given to individual beneficiary work like construction of toilets, construction of fences, levelling of fields, so that social distancing could be self-sustained.
