Jammu and Kashmir Approves Six Free LPG Cylinders for AAY Families Amid Assembly Protests
The Jammu and Kashmir government approved a scheme providing six free LPG cylinders annually to Antyodaya Anna Yojana (AAY) families, announced by Minister Satish Sharma during the Assembly session.

Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Choudhary defended the phased implementation, stating six cylinders were delivered in two years with more to come. The Assembly witnessed heated exchanges and disruptions over the issue.
