More than 17 lakh residents of the district are likely to be deprived of getting domestic LPG at subsidised rate. According to officials of oil companies, of about 24 lakh people in the district with LPG connections in their name, so far only seven lakh have linked their Aadhaar numbers with their bank accounts. With the January 31 deadline fast approaching, it is likely that the rest will have to shell out money from their own pockets for purchasing every single gas cylinder.
