Rekha Government to launch Yamuna River Safari and free gas cylinder assistance

Chief Minister Rekha Gupta has announced two extremely important and major gifts for the citizens of the capital on Tuesday. On one hand, she will inaugurate the Yamuna River Safari to provide new options for tourism and entertainment in the Yamuna River, while on the other, she will deposit assistance amounts directly into the accounts of lakhs of families to provide financial relief under the free gas cylinder scheme.

According to reports, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta will grandly inaugurate the Yamuna River Safari on Tuesday at 11 am. Union Minister for Ports, Shipping and Waterways Sarbananda Sonowal will also be present on this important occasion. It is highly likely that the start of this new cruise service in the Yamuna River will add a new attraction to Delhi's tourism sector, making a new and unique experience available for tourists in the capital.

Under this project named 'Namo Yamuna River Safari', the cruise service will be operated on the route from Sonia Vihar to Jagatpur. The main objective behind this entire project is to link the Yamuna River with tourism activities. Along with this, the goal is also to develop new entertainment options in the capital, so that people can experience a beautiful journey from the middle of the Yamuna River and enjoy the natural beauty of the river.

All necessary preparations for this cruise service have been completed and, according to officials, the trial of the cruise for this service has already been successfully conducted. Seating arrangements for approximately 30 passengers at a time have been made in this cruise. Providing information about the travel time, it has been stated that passengers will take approximately 35 to 40 minutes during this journey. The proposed ticket rate to enjoy this journey has been kept at 500 rupees per person.

Along with the Yamuna River Safari, financial assistance on a large scale will also be distributed under the Delhi Government's free gas cylinder scheme. More than 15 lakh families holding ration cards are going to receive direct benefit under this scheme. Chief Minister Rekha Gupta will transfer the amount under this scheme directly into the bank accounts of the beneficiaries via the DBT (Direct Benefit Transfer) method in a special program organized at Talkatora Stadium on Tuesday. An amount of approximately 142 crore rupees has been announced by the government for the implementation of this scheme.

Explaining the working mechanism of this scheme, it has been clarified that this assistance will be deposited directly into the accounts of the beneficiaries. Under this scheme, financial assistance equal to the price of one gas cylinder will be provided to eligible families. This amount will be deposited directly into the bank account of the head of the family. It is important to note here that the government will not distribute gas cylinders directly, but the money required to purchase the cylinder will be sent directly to the accounts of the beneficiaries.

The rules for availing the benefit of this scheme have also been clarified. The benefit of this scheme will be available only to those eligible families who possess a valid and authentic ration card. In this way, while the Rekha government has focused on tourism and entertainment on one hand, on the other hand, an attempt has been made to provide financial support to ordinary families by giving relief in the cost of gas cylinders.
