Days after huge discrepancies were detected in the implementation of Pradhan Mantri Ujjala Yojana in Pulwama, the authorities Tuesday sealed 90 LPG outlets in this south Kashmir district and registered a case against three gas agencies.
The district authorities ordered an enquiry last week following the complaints of fraud and discrepancies in the PM’s Ujwala Yojna scheme which provides free gas connection and ration to below poverty level (BPL) families. Later, a team having officials of Revenue and Food and Supplies Department was constituted to look into the matter.
“The preliminary investigation by the team revealed that the gas agencies were involved in fraud and discrepancies,” an official told Greater Kashmir.
