India's Petroleum Ministry doubles 5 kg LPG cylinder allocation for migrant labourers
Change
India's Petroleum Ministry doubled the daily allocation of 5 kg free-trade LPG cylinders for migrant labourers in each State, setting the new allotment using the average number of cylinders supplied on March 2–3 and removing the earlier 20% limit.
Why it matters
State governments must distribute the additional 5 kg cylinders solely through their food and civil supplies departments and cannot reassign them to other beneficiary groups. The ministry's use of the March 2–3 average fixes a binding daily disbursal level that States are required to follow when planning local distributions.
Implications
- • State governments' food and civil supplies departments must allocate the additional 5 kg cylinders exclusively to migrant labourers and update daily distribution schedules to the March 2–3 baseline, or the extra allotment will remain undistributed and migrant labourers will not receive the intended supply.
