In light of current geopolitical disruptions to fuel supply and constraints on supply of LPG, Ministry has issued orders to oil refineries for higher LPG production and using such extra production for domestic LPG use. The ministry has prioritised domestic LPG supply to households and introduced 25 day inter- booking period to avoid hoarding/black marketing. Non domestic supplies from imported LPG is being prioritised to essential non domestic sectors such as Hospitals and Educational institutions. For LPG supply to other non-domestic sectors, a committee of three EDs of OMCs have been constituted to review the representations for LPG supply to restaurants/hotels/other industries. @HardeepSPuri @Secretary_MoPNG @IndianOilcl @BPCLimited @HPCL

@vedaCbe @rockstarspartan @the_hindu @THChennai The original plan and the industry demand is for a tech centre. The govt is planning a tool room on PPP model. The land was given for this project three - four years ago and so a compound wall is under construction now

@rockstarspartan @the_hindu @THChennai @sopreetha Maybe @sopreetha can clarify this as dinamalar article claims MSME tech center construction has started while The Hindu report says it’s not yet started due to funding issues and only a tool center instead of a full fledged tech center might be constructed.

@the_hindu @THChennai Employ those who do the actual groundwork and publish articles and not someone like @sopreetha who publishes articles like a layman. This is the link of her latest aticle: thehindu.com/news/cities/Co… In reality, the compound wall construction has started.
