Looking at the amount of media coverage that the oil sector and the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas get, one would assume there is little more they could ask for. Maybe, the ministry finds that not enough is being said about its pet projects. So, it has decided to take matters into its own hands and publish a monthly newsletter, which is being disseminated by the Press Information Bureau and the Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Ltd. The first newsletter starts with a note from Petroleum Minister Dharmendra Pradhan saying that it is an attempt "to communicate with fellow countrymen on major initiatives and policy decisions" of his ministry. Predictably, the first news item relates to Pahal, or the direct benefits transfer for LPG.
