Govt cracks down on dual LPG and PNG connections to curb subsidy misuse

Households with piped gas must surrender LPG

The government is now screening households that hold both LPG and PNG connections to prevent dual ownership and potential subsidy misuse. Under the new enforcement, families with piped natural gas connections are required to surrender their domestic LPG cylinders so supply can be prioritized for households without piped gas. So far, more than 43,000 LPG connections have been surrendered.
