Jaipur, April 1 -- Rajasthan chief secretary V Srinivas has ordered city gas distribution (CGD) companies to supply piped domestic natural gas (DPNG) connections to 2,500-3,000 households daily across the state, accelerating clean energy access in infrastructure-ready areas.

He directed a swift shift from LPG to piped gas where pipelines exist, in line with central directives, and urged inclusion of industrial and commercial units in the network.

She disclosed an ambitious target to raise PNG connections from 1.25 lakh to 5 lakh in three months.
