It is necessary to link the account with Aadhar
It is necessary for the beneficiary of ‘Pradhanmantri Ujjwala Yojana’ to link the bank account with Aadhaar to avail the benefits of the scheme. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that another announcement made in the ‘Lok Kalyan Sankalp Patra’ during the Assembly elections 2022 is being fulfilled by the government.
Before 2014, people were not able to get gas connections. Even if a connection was available, one had to stand in a long queue for the cylinder. Many times the situations became such that the police had to resort to lathicharge.
50 crore people were benefited.
He said that poor and deprived people could not even think of gas connection. Women had to face many diseases due to smoke. CM Yogi said that when Prime Minister Narendra Modi started the Ujjwala scheme in 2016, the gas shortage in the country ended.
For the first time, 9 crore 60 lakh families in the country got free gas connections. About 50 crore people benefited from this. Prime Minister Modi has given a separate gift of Rs 300 subsidy to LPG beneficiaries.
After the beneficiaries of ‘Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana’ got a subsidy of Rs 300 per cylinder, the price in Delhi has come down to Rs 603. It is being claimed in media reports that in the coming time, the government may further increase the gas subsidy for the beneficiaries of Ujjwala scheme before the Lok Sabha elections. After this, gas cylinders are expected to become even cheaper.
