In a significant move, the Odisha government has removed obstacles for accessing 5-kg LPG cylinders, allowing students and migrant workers to procure these essential fuel sources by presenting just an identity proof. The initiative aims to support vulnerable groups by simplifying the application procedure.
Sanjay Kumar Singh, principal secretary of Food Supplies and Consumer Welfare, emphasized that small cylinders are readily available through authorized distributors without the requirement of address documents. The government has also launched special camps for on-the-spot connections while imposing strict actions against illegal vendors to safeguard public safety.
Amid opposition concerns over the West Asia situation impacting supply chains, there is reassurance on fuel availability. The crackdown on illegal hoarding and trading has led to significant seizures and arrests, while district efforts ensure the LPG supply remains stable and prioritized for essential needs.
