Even as the Opposition escalated its complaint against the Government’s direct cash transfer scheme to the Election Commission, the Prime Minister’s office has expedited the process of direct cash transfer of subsidies. The Government intends to start this process in 51 districts from January 1.In this regard, Principal Secretary to the Prime Minister Pulok Chatterji has written a letter to nine Secretaries belonging to Central Government Ministries and Departments. These ministries include Petroleum and Rural Development. This move follows the first meeting of the National Committee on Direct Cash Transfers (DCT) chaired by the Prime Minister on November 26.
