PM Modi’s Women’s Day Gift: LPG Cylinder Price Reduced by Rs 100, X – Govt Eases Public Burden with Significant Relief
On the occasion of International Women’s Day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has announced a reduction of Rs 100 in the prices of cooking gas cylinders (14.2 kilograms). Following this decrease, the prices in Delhi have dropped from Rs 903 to Rs 803, in Bhopal to Rs 808.50, in Jaipur to Rs 806.50, and in Patna to Rs 901.

By reducing LPG cylinder prices, the government aims to promote accessibility and affordability of essential commodities, contributing to the welfare of households across the country.

This move will not only contribute to environmental protection but also serve as a supportive measure to maintain the overall health of families.
