The Ludhiana district administration has announced the availability of 5 kg LPG cylinders at ration depots and select petrol stations to combat ongoing cooking fuel shortages. This initiative is designed to prevent the exodus of migrant workers from the city by ensuring that these cylinders are easily accessible in areas densely populated by laborers. Deputy Commissioner Himanshu Jain emphasized the proactive measures being taken to ensure a steady supply of cooking fuel to vulnerable communities.
