New Delhi, June 25: In a major relief to industrial and commercial LPG consumers, Government has removed all sectoral restrictions on the supply of Non-Domestic Packed LPG and restored supplies to the levels prevailing prior to the West Asia crisis. Further, the supply of bulk LPG, which had been suspended at the onset of the crisis, has been relaxed by 50% of the pre-crisis consumption levels providing significant relief to commercial and industrial consumers. The restoration follows the recent improvement in the LPG supply situation. During the West- Asia crisis, to augment domestic LPG production, the Government had issued orders under the Essential Commodities Act requiring C3-C4 streams to be utilised exclusively for LPG production, diverting them from petrochemical and other downstream uses. Taking note of the improved indigenous LPG production and the projected availability of imported LPG cargoes, Government has also decided to reduce the diversion of C3/C4 streams to LPG pool. The enhanced allocation of C3-C4 streams for non-LPG uses will be implemented while ensuring that the domestic LPG availability remains unaffected and aggregate indigenous LPG production is maintained at not less than 40 TMT per day. Centre of High Technology under the ministry has been directed to issue organisation wise allocation of this enhanced C3/C4 streams for the petrochemical and other critical sectors and submit regular reports to the Ministry. Since the onset of global supply disruptions arising from the West Asia crisis, Government has accorded the highest priority to ensuring uninterrupted availability of LPG to domestic consumers across the country. In line with this, temporary restrictions were imposed on the supply of commercial packed LPG. The timely policy interventions and coordinated efforts by Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) helped maintain stable supplies despite challenging global supply chains. The Government has directed Oil Marketing Companies to continue maintaining comprehensive data on commercial and industrial LPG consumers to facilitate efficient planning and supply management. A unified sectoral database will also be maintained across the OMCs to strengthen monitoring and operational coordination. At the same time, the Government remains committed to expanding PNG connectivity. Commercial and bulk consumers who have already shifted to Piped Natural Gas (PNG) will continue to remain on PNG. Other eligible LPG consumers having access to the PNG network, or those in the process of shifting to PNG, will be progressively transitioned to PNG in coordination with City Gas Distribution (CGD) entities. In this regard, the Secretary, Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, has written to the Chief Secretaries of all States and Union Territories for ensuring smooth implementation of the revised supply arrangements. The decision reflects the Government's conscious approach towards ensuring national energy security while balancing the energy needs of the nation with its continued commitment to expanding access to cleaner, safer and more efficient fuels.

Altaf Bukhari dismisses NCs statehood protest as short-term politics
Bandipora, 25 June: Apni Party leader Altaf Bukhari on Thursday dismissed the National Conferences campaign for the restoration of statehood, describing it as a short-term political move that would quickly disappear. Speaking to reporters in north Kashmirs Bandipora, Bukhari stated that the National Conference has a historical pattern of shifting its core political objectives once its immediate interests are secured. The National Conference has a track record, Bukhari said. In 1953, they declared the Plebiscite Front. Twenty-two years later, they called it vagrancy. Then they demanded Autonomy. Did it come? They abandoned it. Now they make off-the-cuff remarks about Statehood. This is also just for a few days. Once their own interests are fulfilled, you will see, after a month, this will amount to nothing. Bukhari noted that his own past political efforts to seek statehood were heavily criticized by the same leadership that is now organizing protests for the cause. In 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, decrees of betrayal and treason were issued against us just because we were asking for statehood, right? Bukhari said. They used to say we were implementing Delhi's agenda. Man, we are just happy that today, you people are also saying that this is what the people need. Addressing the National Conferences invitation to other political parties to join a protest at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi, Bukhari rejected the approach as informal. Look, this isn't some offer for biryani that you just tell the people of Jammu and Kashmir, 'Come, have some biryani,' Bukhari said. This requires consultation. The standard practice for political parties is to consult each other first to decide how to approach a problem. Bukhari concluded by asserting that regardless of the current focus on administrative status, the loss of special status remains a permanent issue for the public. But I will say one thing: after giving statehood, bringing it, whoever brings it, the people of Jammu and Kashmir will never forget Article 370, Bukhari said.
