On the other hand, despite of the introduction of the modified direct benefit transfer scheme for LPG with an aim to curb down the rampant black marketing of cooking gas, black marketers are yet continuing with their illicit crime.

According to the sources reports, despite the consumers book their cylinder months ago yet they receive their subsidised cylinder from the yearly quota after two or three month.
