"Aadhaar-LPG linkage not possible before 6 months"
Civil Supplies Minister D. Sridhar Babu has ruled out the possibility of the Government issuing Aadhaar cards to all eligible persons in Andhra Pradesh before six months and for at least two months in Ranga Reddy and Hyderabad (Urban) districts. He, however, asserted that the subsidy on LPG refills will somehow be given till then. He said the Centre was likely to extend its February 15 deadline for grounding the cash transfer scheme for Ranga Reddy and Hyderabad districts for LPG refills by two months, responding to the request made by Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Petroleum Minister M. Veerappa Moily.
