As if the Central government’s decision to supply only six subsidised gas cylinders per family per year wasn’t enough, the LPG Distributors Federation has decided that you will have to trudge the extra mile (and back) even to get your hands on the few cylinders that you are entitled to. The federation of distributors, which caters to nearly 65 crore Indians, has suddenly decided that it won’t do doorstep deliver any more, shifting the onus of claiming cylinders on consumers, who will have to lug the heavy vessels from the agency to their homes.
