Residents of more than 30 panchayats in Dharampur subdivision of Mandi district received a major boost in access to LPG services with the inauguration of a Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) outlet, Naina Bharat gas service, in Dharampur on Wednesday.
Inauguration Ceremony
The agency was inaugurated by Dharampur MLA Chander Shekhar in the presence of agency Manager Vijay Kumar and several government officials, public representatives and area residents. Speaking on the occasion, the MLA said the establishment of a BPCL gas agency in Dharampur had been a long-pending demand.
Ending Long Travel for LPG
With the launch of Naina Bharat gas service, residents would no longer have to travel to distant locations such as Rewalsar, Kotli, Sarkaghat and Sandhol-Kothuan for LPG-related services, he added. He said the agency would provide a wide range of services, including new LPG connections, cylinder refills, KYC updates, renewal of consumer records and other customer support facilities at the local level.
Benefits for Rural Residents
The MLA said the new facility would benefit women, senior citizens and people living in rural areas, who often faced difficulties in accessing LPG services due to the long distances involved. The inauguration marks a significant step in improving access to clean cooking fuel in the region.
