According to reports, the duration of this plan was extended by the Center in April to September due to the Corona crisis.
In 2016, this scheme was implemented for three years, whose deadline was ending in April itself. The special focus of this scheme, being run in collaboration with the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas is mainly women.
Only 13 Days Left to Register
According to the plan, if you are from a poor family, you can get this free gas cylinder connection by registering. Now only 13 days remain for this.

The real objective of the scheme is to shift families from LPG to cooking, which causes much less pollution than the stove.
