The Chhattisgarh cabinet has approved the 'Urban Gas Distribution Policy 2026' to expand piped natural gas supply across urban areas, aiming to provide clean and more affordable fuel to consumers.
The policy seeks to ensure the availability of clean and economical natural gas in the state, offering a cost-effective alternative to LPG cylinders for households.
It will facilitate faster and more accessible gas supply through pipeline networks, improving fuel convenience in cities, and promote clean energy usage, diversify fuel options and accelerate the development of pipeline infrastructure.
The cabinet also approved allotment of five acres of land to the District Cricket Association, Rajnandgaon, at a concessional rate for the construction of a modern sports ground and a cricket academy.
