According to the Bihar Wedding LPG Cylinder Guideline, district authorities will provide commercial gas cylinders to families hosting weddings based on local availability. The Food and Consumer Protection Department announced the decision during a press conference in Patna. Officials said the move will ensure that guests and wedding processions receive proper meals without any cooking issues.

The government issued these guidelines as LPG supply has faced pressure due to international tensions and higher demand.
