Appoint nodal officers to increase PNG use: Centre
The central government recently directed states and union territories to appoint nodal officers at the district level to increase the access and use of PNG in households. These officers will coordinate with gas distribution companies and petroleum marketing companies to connect households with piped cooking gas where pipeline access is available. In a letter to state chief secretaries on August 21, Petroleum Secretary Neeraj Mittal stated that PNG is a safer, cleaner, and more convenient fuel.
