Bhopal Municipal Corporation (BMC) has been assigned with the responsibility of organising the inauguration of the programme.

A meeting headed by BMC Commissioner Vishesh Garhpale in the presence of senior BMC officials was conducted on Friday.
During the meeting Zonal officers and ward in charges were informed regarding the new arrangements made for proper implementation of Public Distribution System (PDS) and the inauguration ceremony.
Commissioner Garhpale expressed displeasure on the slow pace of the works for implementation of the scheme and instructed concerned officials of Zone 03 and Zone 09 for accelerating the verification for registration with the portal integrated after it was found sluggish, failing to pace up the work would attract strict action. He discussed the arrangements of transportation for the eligible families which would be attending the inauguration ceremony.
Under the PDS scheme details like information of goods, quantity etc should be provided to the families at the inauguration ceremony instructed Commissioner Garhpale. Around 22 stalls would be installed at the inauguration venue to distribute ‘Eligibility receipts’ meant for the eligible families under the
