Free LPG connections under govt scheme cross 1 cr mark
The number of rural households provided with free LPG connections under the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) crossed the 1 crore mark on Monday. Under PMUY launched six months ago, each below-poverty-line rural household without LPG is being given an LPG cylinder, stove, and regulator. Among the states, poll-bound Uttar Pradesh received the most (34 lakh) connections under the scheme.
