Cooking gas (LPG) distributors today threatened to go on strike on October 1 against the government decision to restrict supply of subsidised gas to 6 cylinders per household in a year saying they cannot police the multiple rate policy.
National Federation of LPG Distributors of India (NFLDI), which claims to represent 10,500 cooking gas sale agencies, demanded the government should have uniform pricing and should make direct transfer of subsidy to the intended beneficiaries.u00a0
"The distributors who were already struggling due to the menace of dual pricing, inadequate commission, ineffective cylinder seal, forced VIP off-takes and supply system that is not fool proof, are now being forced to except the newly implemented triple rate policy without giving adequate commission," it said in a press statement here.
