Telangana’s current government assured that it would implement all poll bound guarantees within the 100 days of its formation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In line with it, the government has already implemented a free bus travel scheme for women and Rajeev Aarogyasri limit enhancement to 10 lakh Rupees under its two guarantee schemes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now govt is planning to quickly implement its another promise under Mahalakshmi scheme which is providing cylinder at just \u20b9500 rupees to the beneficiaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is understood from the sources that officials have proposed two options. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
– to directly implement this scheme to all those having ration cards in the state, or<\/p>\n\n\n\n
– to do a survey and then decide the eligible beneficiaries, which is time consuming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As of today, in Telangana there are a total of 1.20 gas connections available. Of which 43,39,354 are from HPCL , 47,96,302 are from IOCL and 29,04,338 are from BPCL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of which 44% which means around 52.80 lakh consumers are utilising a refill every month. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Telangana currently we have around 89.99% ration card holders. If the govt opts for the first option then all these would get cylinder at the cost of \u20b9500. If govt opts for a second option then a survey will be conducted which is time consuming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are around 11.58 ujjwala gas connections in the state. Who are getting an additional discount of 340 rupees on 955 actual cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If the congress govt provides 6 free cylinders to each family in a year then the total burden on the government would be 2225 crore. If the govt provides 12 cylinders at this cost then the burden would be 4450 crore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
