We further urge all consumers to join the UJALA scheme".

The consumers simply have to approach their nearest post office with a valid identity proof to complete the purchase, release said.

In addition, each post office is being equipped with publicity material to attract more and more buyers and further helping in wider penetration of the scheme.
