On 1 April 2023, Dr. Nishikant Dubey, MP from Godda, Jharkhand, inaugurated Santhal Pargana's first natural gas-based CNG station at Kunda on Deoghar-Sarwan Road.
Key Points
- Member of Parliament Dr. Nishikant Dubey said that CNG is the fuel of the future and efforts are on to save the environment all over the world. That's why this CNG-based initiative will be effective in saving the environment.
- The first CNG station has been opened in Deoghar only because of providing natural gas facilities to the people in small towns along the lines of metros. Soon HPCL will supply piped door-to-door gas in all the cities of Santhal Pargana. For the next two years, CNG stations will also open in all the petrol pumps of this division.
- It is known that within the next six months to one year, the Government of India can announce the huge reserves of lithium in Deoghar. Lithium reserves have been found in Jammu and Kashmir. The government of India is now in the direction of ending dependence on other countries for petroleum products.
- The problem of gas theft and dependence on cylinders will end due to the supply of gas from door to door. Before 2024, homemakers will get the facility of piped gas from house to house. The MP said that more and more people should install CNG kits in their vehicles so that the cost of their operation can be reduced.
