MP CM '40 lakh Ladli Behnas to get domestic gas cylinder at rate of Rs 450'

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav announced on Tuesday that 40 lakh Ladli Behnas holding gas connections under the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) and non-PMUY would receive domestic gas cylinders at a rate of Rs 450.

"The auspicious month of Sawan is ongoing, and the festival of Raksha Bandhan is around the corner. In such a situation, all the Ladli Behnas and beneficiaries of



the Ujjwala Yojana, about 40 lakhs in the state, will benefit from our commitment to provide gas cylinders for Rs 450 using our financial resources. This decision was reaffirmed in today's cabinet meeting," CM Yadav told reporters.

The state government emphasised that it would not halt any existing schemes but instead would increase support for all sections by expanding the schemes, the CM added.
