Free trade LPG for students

IMPHAL | July 29

Consumer affairs and public works minister Karam Shyam launches five kg free trade LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) which will directly benefit the students who came to Imphal for study or the temporary visitors to the state.

The launching programme was held at PCTC Oil pump Khoyathong.

Delivering the chief guest speech Karam Shyam said a state can only be developed when the existing government inspect and measure how far their schemes and their rights have reach to the people. Development can never be attained by building spaceships or war weapons but by ensuring rights and schemes to their people.

Further he said, Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) was launched by PM Narendra Modi in 2016. It is an ambitious social welfare scheme which aims to provide free LPG connections to BPL households in the country. The scheme is aimed at replacing the unhygienic cooking fuels mostly used in the rural India with the clean and more efficient LPG. This scheme has been implemented in the state.

Now this free trade LPG will also benefit the students and temporary visitors to the state, Karam added.

This five kg LPG will now available at PCTC Oil pump, Lamsang Oil service and Konsam Oil pump. An individual can get the LPG at the mentioned places after giving an identification card.

The price of a five kg LPG including the regulator and pipe will cost Rs 1448 and the refill cost is Rs 300.

The function was also attended by K. Radhakumar commissioner CAF and PD as guest of honour.
