West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari has announced several initiatives for the welfare of the people, including affordable fish-rice meals and rules for liquor shops.
From May 27, the state government will begin issuing forms for the Annapurna Yojana, under which women will receive ₹3,000 per month.
Liquor shops will not be allowed within a one-kilometre radius of schools, colleges, and places of worship, the CM said.
The government will also introduce fish and rice meals for ₹5 at around 400 dedicated canteens twice a week.
Adhikari has taken several decisions since he took oath as the chief minister of West Bengal on May 9, including a crackdown on illegal immigrants and a new recruitment policy in the public sector.
