Centre Issues New Guidelines on Gas Cylinders for States

The Central Government has written a letter to all state governments about the supply of gas cylinders. According to the letter, the Centre will start sending additional gas cylinders to states from the 23rd. It also directed states to provide five-kilogram gas cylinders free of cost to migrant workers to support them in their daily needs.

The Centre further announced that the supply of commercial gas cylinders will be increased by 20 percent. States have been asked to ensure that restaurants, hotels and roadside eateries do not face any shortage of gas cylinders. The government also instructed that gas supply must be properly maintained in canteens located in industries and offices so that regular activities continue without any problems.
