Big news for families in Tamil Nadu: Chief Minister C Vijay Joseph announced the Annapoorani Super Six Scheme.
Starting next year, eligible households will get six free LPG cylinders annually to help cut down on cooking gas costs.
As CM Vijay put it, "This will reduce the burden of the people who have been spending extra amount to obtain the cylinders."
