श्री सुरेश भरद्वाज( हिमाचल प्रदेश ): महोदय, हिमाचल प्रदेश देश का एक छोटा सा पर्वतीय प्रदेश है!जो अपने मनमोहक प्राकृतिक सौंदर्य के लिए पूरे विश्व में विख्यात है! इस प्रदेश की जनता ईमानदार मेहनती और शांतिप्रिय है!  १९४८ में लोह पुरुष सरदार पटेल की दूरदर्शिता के कारण छोटे -२ ६० रियासतों मिला कर हिमाचल प्रदेश का गठन हुआ था! और १९६६ में पुनजब के गठन के समय कुछ पहाड़ी इलाको को इसमें मिलाया गया!१९७१ में इसे पूर्ण राज्य का दर्ज़ा  प्राप्त  हुआ!  अज प्रदेश एक प्रगतिशील प्रदेश है ! 
शिक्षा के ख्शेत्र में प्रदेश अग्रणी राज्य है लेकिन संसाधनों की कमी के कारण इसके विकास की गति धीमी है! प्रदेश का एकमात्र विश्वविद्यालय शिमला में है लेकिन यह प्रदेश के कई इलाको से बहुत दूर है! जिस कारण प्रदेह के दूर दराज़ इलाको के बच्चे  उच्च शिक्षा से वंचित रह जाते है! हिमाचल भी उत्तर पूर्वी राज्यों की तरह संसाधन विहीन है! उन सभी राज्यों में केंद्रीय विश्वविद्यालय की स्थापना हो चुकी है!में सरकार से पुरज़ोर आग्रह करता हूँ की हिमाचल के धर्मशाला में प्रदेश की भौगौलिक परिस्थितियों को देखते हुए केंद्रीय विश्वविध्यालय की स्थापना की जाए!

PETROLEUM AND NATURAL GAS be pleased to state:

THE MINISTER OF PETROLEUM AND NATURAL GAS (SHRI MANI
SHANKAR AIYAR):(a) to (c) Public Sector Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) had
restricted the release of new LPG connections since September 2005 because of a
temporary shortage in bulk LPG availability. This temporary shortage of LPG had
emerged largely on account of non-materialization of some additional LPG imports
planned by the OMCs, shut down of RIL's refinery for the period from 4th October to 1st
December 2005 and some unplanned shut downs of otherrefineries/fractionators in the country during the current year. Normal production of
the RIL refinery has resumed from 1st December 2005, and the backlog in LPG
booking is expected to be cleared in a couple of weeks. OMCs have resumed the
release of new LPG connections from 1st December 2005 onwards.
(d) The system of booking for LPG refills on the telephone is continuing.
