 How to Claim LPG Insurance Without Hurdles—With Help from Vistarana Info

Accidents caused by LPG cylinders are tragic—but what’s even more unfortunate is that many victims don’t know they’re entitled to insurance compensation. Thanks to the Central Government’s Ujjwala scheme, LPG cylinders now reach every corner of India. But with increased usage comes increased risk. Between 2018 and 2023, over 4,000 LPG-related accidents were reported nationwide.

Outcome:
On August 4, 2025, a cheque of ₹24 lakh was handed to the legal heir—₹6 lakh per deceased. The family credited Vistarana Info’s intervention for the successful claim and is now pursuing legal action against the negligent distributor.
