To review the status of adequate availability and uninterrupted supply of LPG cylinders and the preparedness for ensuring provision of free LPG cylinders for 3 months to over 8 cr families who come under Ujjwala scheme, Union Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas & Steel Shri Dharmendra Pradhan today interacted with more than 700 District Nodal Officers (DNOs) of all Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs).
In his interaction through a video conference, Minister Pradhan said that Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana which established itself as a major vehicle of social change will again emerge as a key player in India’s fight against the spread of the novel Coronavirus.
He also highlighted the various features of Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Yojana scheme for the PMUY beneficiaries such as availability of up to 3 refills for 14.2 kg cylinders and advance RSP being transferred by OMCs to the PMUY customer’s bank account, which can be withdrawn to obtain the refill from the distributor and instructed to ensure seamless implementation of this scheme.
Minister asserted that 15 port terminals, 195 LPG bottling plants and the transportation network are currently operating everyday despite lockdown, thus ensuring sufficient availability and uninterrupted supplies of LPG products in the country.
