New Delhi, Feb 21 (UNI) Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas Dharmendra Pradhan on Thursday said that in the initial 60 years post-independence, 13 crore LPG connections were given as compared to the NDA government's as many connections in under five years.
"The last five years has not only seen policy reforms but has also witnessed all round investments in clean cooking fuel initiatives. As many as 6.75 crore women have been empowered through Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana and a total of 13 crore new LPG Connections have been issued," said Mr Pradhan on the sidelines of the distribution of LoI's to 2500 candidates for petrol pump dealership.
The Minister said that allotment of a large number of cooking gas connections has been accompanied with expansion of infrastructure like gas pipelines, setting up of bottling plants, distribution network etc, and all this has created a large number of jobs.
Mr Pradhan informed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi would lay the foundation stone of about 2000 km LPG pipeline next week in Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh, which will be connected to Kandla, in Gujarat, making it one of the longest such pipelines in the world.
