MP CM Yadav announces renaming of Sagar's Jaisinagar; launches development projects worth Rs 200 cr

Sagar (Madhya Pradesh) [India], September 25 (ANI): Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav announced the renaming of Jaisinagar in Sagar district to ‘Jai Shivnagar’ during a program held here on Thursday.

CM Yadav inaugurated the ‘CM Anna Seva Jagrukta’ program. He also laid the foundation stone and inaugurated various development projects worth around Rs 200 crore for the region on the occasion.

Additionally, the Chief Minister launched the “Single Window Portal” for the City Gas Distribution Scheme, aiming to bring transformation in the energy sector.

“I announce the renaming of Jaisinagar to ‘Jai Shivnagar’… Today, on the birth anniversary of Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya Ji, I inaugurated the ‘Mukhyamantri Ann Seva Jagrukta’ programme under the Ann Suraksha Sankalp Samaroh in Jaisinagar, Sagar district and laid the foundation stone and inauguration of various development works worth around Rs 200 crore. Along with this, I also launched the Single Window Portal for the City Gas Distribution Scheme in the direction of promoting clean energy,” CM Yadav stated in a post on X.

According to a release, the Madhya Pradesh government has introduced the City Gas Distribution Policy 2025 to bring about transformation in the energy sector. Under the policy, piped natural gas (PNG) connections will be made available across all districts through newly installed pipelines. CNG stations for vehicles will also be established to provide clean and affordable fuel to every household. The government aims to attract investment and position Madhya Pradesh as a leading state of the Country in green energy.

The single window portal facilitates easy approvals and clearances, including No Objection Certificates (NOCs) for operating CNG stations and pipeline laying permissions (Right of Use – ROU). District Collectors are authorised to issue these permits through the portal. Applicants can apply at the district level, and NOCs will be issued within 60 days, with overall approvals granted within 77 days.

PNG will be supplied directly and seamlessly to consumers’ homes via pipelines, ensuring uninterrupted gas availability for cooking and other domestic uses. This reduces the hassle of repeated cylinder booking and refilling. PNG is safer than cylinders as it is lighter than air and disperses quickly in case of leaks, lowering fire risks. It includes safety features that prevent cylinder blasts.

CNG is among the cleanest fuels available today, emitting significantly less air pollution compared to diesel and petrol. The establishment of this network will lead to major capital investments in infrastructure development and generate local employment opportunities in the district. (ANI)
