The inflation relief camps started from April 24 and Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot inaugurated one such camp at Mahapura gram panchayat. He handed over the Chief Minister Guarantee Card to women beneficiaries after getting them registered in the schemes as per their eligibility. Speaking to beneficiaries, he said that the general public has got relief from the rising inflation along with economic and social support with the public welfare schemes.
While interacting with villages, they said ‘Sir, Aap Very Good Ho’ (You are very good). The beneficiaries expressing gratitude to the chief minister said that a gas cylinder for Rs 500 and with free electricity up to 100 and 2000 units will get them the much needed relief.
