Nearly ₹150-hike in gas price in five months leaves family budgets in tatters in Kerala
The Hindu
Price of a 14.2 kg cooking gas cylinder has soared from ₹701 in January this year to ₹841.50
Shortly after the hike of ₹25 for domestic cooking gas kicked in on Thursday, an autorickshaw driver approached a gas agency at Thripunithura for a cylinder. Unaware of the hike, he fell short of the revised price. Neither had he booked a cylinder as he had run out of mobile phone balance to even avail of the IVRS (Interactive Voice Response System)-based booking. Moved by his plight, the gas agent made the booking on his behalf and delivered the cylinder at the old price.More Related News
