After giving great relief on GST in the festive season, now the Modi government has made another big announcement for poor families. In fact, the central government will distribute 25 lakh new free LPG connections under the ‘Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana’ during Navratri. With this, the total number of Ujjwala beneficiaries in the country will increase to 10.6 crore. Union Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri gave this information.
