Chandigarh, February 10
At least 22 sites for LPG godowns were today allotted through a draw of lots by the Chandigarh Administration. The sites are located in peripheral areas of the city. Since a consensus for allotment of sites could not be reached, the draw of lots was held, said a senior officer of the Chandigarh Administration.

The way for allotment of LPG godowns was cleared after the standoff between the Chandigarh Administration and the All-India LPG Distributors Federation over the allotment of sites was resolved recently.

Now, LPG dealers would have to pay a nominal rent of around Rs 3961 per month against the earlier rent of around Rs 13,000 per month. The dealers have on several occasion gone on strike against the demolition of their illegal godowns by the Administration.
