More imports to meet LPG shortage: Deora

Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister Mulri Deora has said a pro-active approach had been adopted to address the shortage of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). In a letter to Chief Ministers on LPG shortage in certain parts of the country, Mr. Deora said as an urgent measure, an additional 52,000 metric tonnes of LPG would be imported in March 2008 to tide over the crisis. He sought the cooperation of the Chief Ministers in curbing diversion of domestic LPG stocks.
