Enabling households to cook using smoke-free fuels, the Uttar Pradesh government will distribute about 20 lakh free gas connections to the poor under Ujjwala 2.0. CM Yogi will start the distribution through a virtual event on Wednesday and will also interact with the beneficiaries of the scheme.

 

Under Ujjwala 2.0, migrant workers can avail a free cooking gas connection on the basis of a self-declaration without any need for documents like address proof. The scheme aims to provide deposit-free LPG connections to low-income families who could not be covered under the first phase of PMUY.

On August 10, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched Ujjwala 2.0 — the second phase of the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) — by handing over LPG connections in Mahoba, Uttar Pradesh.

In the first phase of the Ujjwala Yojana scheme, 1,47,43,862 LPG connections were made available to the poor families of Uttar Pradesh. Those families that were left out in the first phase of the Ujjwala scheme will be benefited in the second phase.

The Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) under which women belonging to BPL families will be provided with clean cooking fuel was launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on May 1, 2016, in Ballia, Uttar Pradesh.

The scheme aims to provide clean-cooking fuel to the poor households vulnerable to various health hazards associated with indoor air pollution and to bring in qualitative changes in the living standards of BPL families.

In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).

The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.

The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.

Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.

In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.

The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
