A huge amount of Govt. money is spent on subsidy of petroleum products. The Govt. had to spend Rs. 1,39,869 crore on account of subsidy on petroleum products in the year 2013-14. As, the indigenous availability of crude Oil and LPG is limited, these are imported in huge quantities to fulfill the demand of the country. As Govt. provides domestic LPG and PDS Kerosene on subsidised price, this results in huge subsidy burden on Govt. Due to presence of dual pricing(subsidized and non-subsidized) in LPG and SKO, there is a diversion of subsidized LPG and Kerosene into commercial usage. Although Govt. has taken several initiatives to reduce this diversion of subsidized LPG and PDS Kerosene, public participation is solicited to suggest ways for reducing diversion in LPG and PDS Kerosene.

You are invited to suggest ideas to reduce diversion and the subsidy burden on account of LPG and Kerosene.

DBT is an excellent choice to reduce leakage. It must be implemented properly to ensure that poor people in poorer states do not suffer. Every customer must be given advance subsidy every month so that he/she can pay for it. The online data must be available for scrutiny by a joint committee of Panchayat or Municipality members and Company officers. More transparency will ensure accountability.

For encouraging people to use biogas, LPG should be given to all without subsidy. Only if subsidy is reduced, people will find ways to use alternate source. Biogas plants should be built in all villages and municipalities and proper waste management system to be introduced to feed it daily.

Like rain water harvesting in housing colonies, biogas plants should also be set up. The waste generated from the households can be used again by the residents themselves, reducing burden from the municipality to provide gas to households. Municipal biogas plants can be used to run shops in railway stations and bus stands. Vast pipelines need to be built securely for this purpose.

Gas pipelines should be built in all major cities and smart cities. Gobar gas plants should be encouraged in buildings and corporate complexes and organic waste should be used to produce biogas which can be piped to all houses and establishments in a particular municipal corporation. LPG subsidy should be removed completely once biogas plants are set up in all municipal corporations. This will reduce our dependency on LPG and natural gas can be used only in operating machinery in factories.

Sir, The scheme of crediting the LPG subsidy into the bank account of LPG consumer started by the government is a good step but with the start of this activity it is turning out to be a master of all scams with money being siphoned from government exchequer but resulting in corruption through increased black marketing of gas cylinders by the gas agencies. For details I can discuss further and my phone number is 9871200911

Any fight against corruption, needs some kind of empowerment amongst concious citizens. Group of voluntier citizens can be empowered with digital evidence collection and spot fining device /authority in a specified format / device or to escalate to Police to act on mandatorily.

VEHICLE POLLUTION CAN BE DRASTICALLY CUT BY USING BRT IN A BIG WAY IN CITIES. HIKING PARKING CHARGES 4-FOLD COULD ALSO MAKE A BIG CONTRIBUTION IN CONTROLLING POLLUTION. IT IS NOT TOTAL NUMBER OF VEHICLES IN A CITY BUT THE NUMBER OF VEHICLES BEING USED. IF BRT IS IMPLEMENTED & PARKING RATES HIKED, NUMBER OF VEHICLES BEING UTILIZED DAILY ON THE ROADS WOULD FALL. RESULT WOULD BE THAT EFFICIENCY IN TRAVELLING WOULD BE ENSURED.

SUBSIDIZED & NON-SUBSIDIZED COMMERCIAL LPGs LOOK DIFFERENT! SO, IF RAIDS ARE CARRIED OUT -- HOTELS & RESTAURANTS COULD BE EASILY CAUGHT! HOWEVER, THERE HAS BEEN NO NEWS ABOUT RAIDS CARRIED OUT. WHY IS THIS SO?
