There is no stopping to the rise in rates of LPG cylinders. The rate of the commercial gas cylinder has been raised by Rs 110 and now it costs Rs 2101. The domestic gas cylinder is costing around Rs 950 per cylinder. The tip to the delivery man makes it Rs 1000 per cylinder.
The subsidy being extended by the government for the so-called subsidy cylinder is negligible. The petrol and diesel rates have also gone up like anything thereby making the essential commodities also burn the pockets of the middle-class people.
The fuel rates were reduced to some extent but they are also hovering around Rs 100 per litre. Now they have raised the LPG rates. Commerical cylinder costing Rs 2110 is very high.
The rise in fuel rates is having a cascading effect on all the essential commodities which will have the burden of the transport. Fuel and gas can be called essential commodities, but the cost is going up by the day.
Tomatoes are costing Rs 60 per Kg, they have come down from Rs 150 to Rs 60. Let’s hope the fuel and the LPG rates will also come down in the near future.
