If you use LPG cylinders, then this news is especially for you. The government is trying to get the increasing LPG prices under control. For this, the government is considering to restore the subsidy on LPG cylinders again. A proposal in this regard has been sent to the Finance Ministry.
The subsidy on LPG is being given in the states of Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh and Northeast.
