Jammu, Sept 22: The coalition government in the state may increase the cap on subsidised LPG cylinders from six to nine cylinders.
“As ruling National Conference is in coalition with Congress in Jammu and Kashmir, there is a plan to increase the cap on subsidised LPG cylinders from six to nine cylinders,” Minister for Consumer Affairs and Public Distribution, Transport Mr Qamar Ali Akhoon said.
