The Telangana government has decided to start implementation of two more guarantees, Rs 500 an LPG cylinder and free power up to 200 units to families with white ration cards tentatively from February 27 or February 29. Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has directed the officials concerned to make arrangements for the implementation of the two guarantees after a review meeting on Thursday with the Cabinet sub-committee on the six guarantees given by the Congress in the run up to the State Assembly elections. The development comes within a day after the Chief Minister assured at Kodangal public meeting on Wednesday that two more guarantees would be implemented in a week. He wanted the officials to ensure that eligible beneficiaries who submitted their applications during the Praja Palana were covered under the two schemes. The Congress government had put in place two guarantees - free bus travel for women and enhancement of coverage under Aarogyasri from 35 lakh to 10 lakh within two days of taking over the reins in the State. Mr. Reddy enquired with the Civil Supplies department officials about the scope for implementation of LPG cylinders at subsidised prices as direct benefit transfer scheme. Mr. Reddy was particular that the Gruha Lakshmi scheme for providing 200 units free to eligible families was implemented in a transparent manner.
