Civil Supplies Minister Nadendla Manohar announced that the scheme is aligned with the Super Six initiatives highlighted in the joint poll manifesto. The government will spend ₹2,684 crore annually to implement this scheme. An agreement has been signed with three gas companies to provide the gas cylinders and refills to eligible households.

“The cost of each gas cylinder is ₹2,894.92, and this amount will be given free of cost to all eligible families. The subsidy will be credited directly into the beneficiaries’ accounts through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) within 48 hours of cylinder delivery,” Manohar stated. This decision is set to benefit thousands of families, easing the burden of household expenses.

Information Minister Kolusu Parthasarathy also briefed the media on another key decision from the meeting, which was the cancellation of Seigniorage fee on the free sand scheme. This move aims to make sand more accessible for the public, enhancing the effectiveness of the state’s free sand initiative.

Additionally, the Cabinet decided to revoke the allotment of 15 acres of government land in Survey Nos 102, 102/2, and 103 to the Sri Sarada Peetham in Pendurthi, Visakhapatnam. The land, initially allocated for Vedic education and religious activities, was allegedly being misused for commercial and residential purposes.

Minister Parthasarathy emphasized that this decision was made to protect government lands and ensure that they are used for the intended purposes. The Cabinet remains focused on addressing public grievances and fulfilling the promises made in the poll manifesto, especially those concerning the welfare of the people.

As the Diwali season approaches, the implementation of free gas refills will bring significant relief to families, while the land reclamation decision reaffirms the government’s commitment to transparency and accountability.

On another front, a new liquor policy is set to take effect in AP starting from October 1. The AP Cabinet has made crucial decisions regarding this policy, including reserving 10 percent of liquor shops for specific castes. Bar license fees have been categorized into four slabs, and efforts have been made to make liquor more affordable by offering a quart for 99 rupees.

Furthermore, the Cabinet has initiated discussions with IMFL companies to ensure the availability of liquor at a special price in AP, lower than that in other states. Quality brands will be prioritized, and premier shops will be established under the new system. Minister Parthasaradhi clarified that premium shops will not be permitted in Temple City Tirupati.
