The Centre's decision to raise commercial LPG allocations to 70% of previous levels across states, including Meghalaya, is set to alleviate a cooking gas crisis, the state government announced Monday.
According to Saloni Verma, Director of Food, Civil Supplies, and Consumer Affairs, ongoing talks with the Indian Government resulted in this crucial update.
Despite earlier disruptions due to Middle East import issues, essential services like hospitals continue to receive full supply. Domestic distribution remains unaffected, while e-KYC processes cause public queues.
