Special Relief for Migrant Workers in Delhi: LPG Cylinder Camps to Be Set Up The Delhi government has announced the establishment of special camps to provide 5-kilogram LPG cylinders to migrant workers across the city. These camps will be organized in areas with a high concentration of migrant laborers, ensuring timely access to essential fuel for cooking. The initiative comes amid a nationwide shortage of LPG cylinders, exacerbated by tensions between Iran, Israel, and the United States, which have disrupted supply chains. According to an official statement from the Delhi Chief Minister’s office, the central government has approved a 100% allocation of 5-kilogram cylinders for the migrant worker category. This has led to an increase in daily cylinder distribution from 684 to 1,368 units. The government has directed district magistrates (DMs) to set up these camps in regions with the largest migrant worker populations. Migrants will be able to purchase the cylinders by presenting their Aadhaar cards at these camps. The camps will be organized in collaboration with oil marketing companies (OMCs) and their authorized LPG distributors. Additionally, district enforcement teams will monitor the distribution process to ensure transparency and efficiency. The government emphasized that the initiative aims to strengthen the supply chain, improve accessibility, and guarantee timely availability of cooking fuel for migrant workers across Delhi. Migrants facing difficulties in obtaining cylinders are advised to contact their respective DM offices to request the setup of a camp in their area. The government also highlighted that the move is part of broader efforts to combat illegal activities such as black-market trading and ensure fair distribution.#mumbai #oil_marketing_companies #district_magistrates #delhi_government #delhi_chief_minister_office
