He said: “Today, LPG facilitates the lives of people as clean kitchen fuel from remote villages and inaccessible areas of the country to urban buildings and bungalows.” He said LPG prices rose by about 58 percent internationally, but PMUy beneficiaries in India still get 14.2 kg LPG for just Rs 553, while this price of cylinders for regular consumers is Rs 853. The government has taken several active steps to ensure the price increase. Union Minister Puri also said that the LPG revolution in the Modi government saved millions of trees to cut. -Ians skt/ share these story tags
