Great initiative, but I hope the pricing remains truly affordable in the long run. Sometimes these services start well, but the bills keep increasing. Also, what about the installation charges for existing flats? That cost can be a barrier for many middle-class families.

It's good to see our MP, Aparajita Sarangi, leading by example and using PNG herself. That builds trust. Clean energy is the future, and moving towards a gas-based economy is a smart national move. Hope other cities in Odisha get this facility soon!

Uninterrupted supply is the key benefit for me. Working from home, the last thing you need is the gas running out in the middle of cooking lunch! This is a major upgrade in quality of life for residents. Well done, GAIL.

A step in the right direction for a cleaner Bhubaneswar. Reducing dependency on polluting fuels is crucial. My only request to GAIL is to ensure robust customer service and quick grievance redressal. New systems often have teething issues.

As a resident of a society still waiting for this, I'm feeling a bit of FOMO! 😄 Seriously though, hope the rollout is systematic and covers all areas. The convenience of piped gas cannot be overstated. It's one less headache for the homemaker.
