The Divisional Commissioner Kalpana Shrivastav, on the directions of Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has taken an initiative to deliver vegetables door-to-door during the lockdown period in the city. Under the banner of ‘Apki Sabzi Apke Dwar’ the administration is delivering vegetables to every home at fixed rates. The administration delivered vegetables to over 19,000 households on Thursday, moving on 322 routes. The vegetables were brought from Karond Mandi and Bittan vegetable market. The vegetables are being carried in a loading vehicle to the colonies.
 
Both the customers and the sellers have to ensure that they follow social distancing while buying vegetables. BMC has reached out to as many as 42,000 houses on 701 routes so far. The sellers have been told to sell the vegetables at the rates fixed by the Nigam. ‘Apki Sabzi Apke Dwar’ is operating only on these routes so far.
 
Bhopal Divisional Commissioner Kalpana Shrivastav and BMC Commissioner Vijay Datta took a review meeting on the campaign, where they decided to expand it to other routes in the city as well. The Nigam has ensured that the delivery system will begin at other routes within a week. The loading vehicles have been registered and given route charts. The officials have been appointed to monitor the vehicles. The initiative has not only brought a relief to the public but also has generated employment for the hawkers especially tender coconut and ‘panipuri’ walas as they are seen now carrying vegetables to the people at the door step.
