Presiding over the first Cabinet meeting after taking oath as Chief Minister for a second time, Chief Minister Pramod Sawant said the scheme promised by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in its election manifesto to provide three LPG cylinders to each household for free in a year was discussed and approved.
“The three free LPG cylinders to every household in a year, mentioned in the party manifesto, has been finalised during the cabinet meeting," Sawant said addressing the media after the meet.
He said, the scheme will be notified after modalities are worked out and it will be implemented in the new financial year.
