The Delhi government is set to enhance access to cooking fuel for migrant laborers by organizing special outreach camps for the distribution of 5 kg free trade LPG (FTL) cylinders. Following a recent decision by the Indian central government, the daily availability of these cylinders has increased from 684 to 1,368 in the city. District magistrates are tasked with establishing camps in areas with high concentrations of migrant workers, allowing those in need to request camps in their localities. The camps will operate alongside the existing distribution network managed by oil marketing companies (OMCs). Eligible beneficiaries will need to present their Aadhaar as identity proof to obtain the cylinders. This initiative aims to improve last-mile delivery and ensure timely access to LPG for migrant laborers, with district enforcement teams assisting in demand assessment and overseeing the distribution process.
