This time, the Modi government has taken a big step to support the country’s common people. Yes, the central government has announced the distribution of free LPG gas cylinders for economically weaker families. It is known that the government will provide these cooking gas cylinders at a low cost, mainly to BPL cardholders, Ujjwala Yojana beneficiaries, and other economically backwards communities.
