Centre committed to overall welfare of senior citizens: Union Minister Gehlot

Congress MP Manickam Tagore on Thursday sought a parliamentary debate on the reported shortage of commercial LPG cylinders, questioning the import dependence and lack of storage facilities.

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.

Assam Panchayat and Rural Development Minister Ranjeet Kumar Dass on Tuesday said that the state government has completed the construction of 17.20 lakh houses in the last five years under the Union government's flagship Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana.
