Chief Minister and MLA Gandhi Nagar, Kavinder Gupta today conducted a tour of his Gandhi Nagar Constituency to listen pubic grievances, problems and other developmental issues relating to roads, health care, education, power, lanes and drains, traffic congestions, parking and renovation of parks.

Highlighting the objectives of PMUY, Gupta said the scheme aims to safeguard the health of women and children by replacing the unclean cooking fuels, mostly used in rural India, with clean and more efficient LPG.
Ensuring women’s empowerment, especially in rural India, the connections are issued in the name of women of the households, he added.
