The government has decided to double the daily allocation of five kilogram free trade LPG (FTL) cylinders available for distribution to migrant labourers across states. Secretary of Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas Dr Neeraj Mittal has written a letter to Chief Secretaries of all States and Union Territories in this regard. He said, these five kilogram LPG cylinders will be made available to State Governments and their Food and Civil Supplies Departments for supplying only to migrant laborers in their State, with the support of Oil Marketing Companies. The Petroleum Ministry said, the enhanced allocation will be based on the average daily supply of cylinders provided to migrant workers. The revised allocation goes beyond the earlier cap of 20 per cent specified in March announcement. About six lakh 75 thousand five kilogram LPG cylinders have been sold since 23rd of last month.
