Some eight months afterward too, petroleum products, including liquefied petroleum gas, popularly called cooking gas, are still scarce. People have to queue up for hours to get a full cylinder of gas and just a few litres of petrol, when the dealers open their shops, and most of the time they remain closed. But even after all this hassle, there is no guarantee of getting the commodity, and many aspirants have to return empty-handed. As for the cooking gas, the common man has to get their empty cylinder deposited with the local gas dealer and pay the full amount of Rs.1, 400, the official price for a cylinder of gas, or if they have very good relations with the dealer, get a special coupon to get the gas when the full cylinders arrive at the depot concerned. Normally, after depositing the cylinders, the common consumer has to wait for two to three months to get the gas.
