Sixty-four percent citizens were using their savings to pay high LPG prices, says survey
As part of the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana, the central government on Tuesday announced an extra subsidy of Rs 200 for each household cooking gas or Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) cylinder. The move is anticipated to bring relief to households belonging to the middle- and lower-middle class brackets, a significant number of whom buy extra cylinders at market prices once they have used up their monthly allotment of subsidised ones.
