Overview
- Officials say more than 250,000 Delhi households have received LPG connections under the scheme since 2016.
- The latest beneficiaries are women over 18 from low-income homes without any existing household LPG connection.
- The administration plans follow-up checks to keep cylinder refills affordable and prevent a return to wood or coal.
- Complementary steps include supplying electric heaters to night security staff and urging press workers to replace coal-fired irons with gas or electric models.
- Beneficiary lists are being prepared and distribution camps will continue in areas with low coverage, while biomass burning still contributes to winter pollution.
