Altogether 256 BPL households received free gas connection cards along with the gas cylinder and stove during the event held at the MLA's residence in Salam under Imphal West district.

Speaking on the occasion, Sorokhaibam Rajen shared that Ujjwala Scheme was launched as part of the multiple initiatives launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the benefit of women and poverty-stricken citizens of India.
Under the Go To Village campaign, the Government has successfully provided free gas connections to many households in remote areas, he said.
He called today's distribution a 'Ningol Chakkouba gift' from the Government to those who had applied for the benefits under Ujjwala Scheme.
Further, he highlighted the smoke-free benefit of using gas cylinders, adding that it will bring about a decrease in diseases caused by long term exposure to smoke during cooking with firewood, cow dung cakes etc.
It will also help the people in reducing harm caused to the environment, he opined.
Lastly, Sorokhaibam Rajen commended KK Indane Gas Service, Sagolband Tera for providing their services in a timely manner, thereby making the day's event a success.
