Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar today launched the "extended Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana" in Bihar and said LPG connections will help reduce fire incidents during the summer.
Around four cylinders are being used by poor people who got connections under Ujjwala scheme in a year, he said at a function held at Baheri block of Darbhanga district.
"If every household is provided with gas connection, the incident of fire caused during cooking (in the month of April) will be reduced to a large extent," an official release quoted him as saying.
He appealed to the people prepare food before 10 am and after 4 or 5 pm in order to avoid fire incidents as "we had witnessed a number of fire incidents two years ago in this month only."
