The PM would distribute liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) connections to beneficiaries of the government’s flagship social sector scheme the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana, or Ujjwala, in Aurangabad on Saturday, according to a senior Bharat Petroleum Corporation official.

The event would mark the distribution of 80 million cooking gas connections under the scheme, a target that would be achieved six months
