Pranab Mukherjee arrives at RSS founder's birthplace

The ongoing dispute between the management of the Food Corporation of India (FCI) and its sole recognised union, Bhartiya Khadya Nigam Karamchari Sangh (BKNKS), was taken up for conciliation on Thursday before the Deputy Chief Labour Commissioner (Central) in New Delhi.

During the meeting, CM Yadav raised various issues related to agriculture and rural development in the state. Following the discussion, several farmer-centric decisions were taken that are expected to provide major relief to farmers across the state, according to an official release.

The move comes in the backdrop of reports indicating public apprehension about a possible restriction in the supply of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) in the domestic market due to ongoing developments in West Asia.

Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) MP Sudhakar Singh on Wednesday warned of worsening LPG shortage, accusing the government of hiding facts and citing failures in foreign policy.

Union Home Secretary Govind Mohan on Wednesday chaired a high-level meeting with Chief Secretaries and Directors Generals of Police (DGsP) of all states and Union Territories to review the supply and distribution of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) across the country, officials said.
