New Delhi, October 10
The government today set up a high-level task force to monitor the supply of domestic cooking gas (LPG) amid reports of its shortage in different parts of the country.
Talking with reporters, Petroleum Mani Shankar Aiyar said: “I have set up a task force headed by M.S. Srinivasan, Special Secretary, Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, to monitor on daily basis the LPG (supply) situation.”
The task force will report on a daily basis to the minister on the progress made in normalising supply of subsidised LPG to domestic households that had been severely affected due to shutting down of the LPG manufacturing unit of Reliance Industries’ Jamnagar refinery, which is India’s largest LPG producer.
