Anantnag: Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) a centrally sponsored scheme has seen failed to end miseries of people in south Kashmir’s Anantnag district, where BPL beneficiaries are still waiting for free gas connections.

Sajad Ahmad, a local resident said that PMUY was especially for BPL families but shockingly Above Poverty Line (APL) families were given the connections.
Three years have passed but we still waiting for much-hyped gas connections, He said he along with many other families visited the concerned officials but they have turned deaf ears towards them. Added that under the scheme, the government had promised to provide free LPG connections with a gas stove and regulators to BPL families in respective constituencies.

Government has failed to reach out poor people in the state and nothing has been left to the poor people,” he said. Despite repeated attempts to concerned authorities, nothing has changed on the ground level, sajad added.

According to Ali Mohammad Manager of Showkat Gas Agency Anantnag while talking to INS refuted the allegations of public and said that we have issued at least 750 connections under the scheme till date and get new registration 3471 we are giving first priority to BPL families and whosoever has completed documents will be provided connections,” he said.
