LPG Prices Hikes, Now Over Rs 1,000 Per Cylinder

The rise in LPG prices has hit the poor and the lower middle class families the most. Just 60 kilometers from Delhi, Tanga wala Yameen lives with his family in a village in UP's Hapur district. He makes a living by running a Tonga. His wife Husnara says the family got a subsidized gas connection under PM Ujjwala Yojana. But this poor family is unable to refill the cylinder and is forced to cook on a chulha because of the rising cost of a domestic LPG cylinder.
