A lantern in shape of a cooking gas cylinder to highlight the plight of the common man as the Government has restricted the use of subsidised cylinders available to just 6 a year. Anything more would have to be purchased at double the price.

Deletenice idea, nicely captured.
ReplyDeleteThank you Meenakshi
Deleteyou've captured it so nicely
ReplyDeleteThank you so much
DeleteSo this is the light of protest? Great idea. And very nice slice-of-life photo!
ReplyDeleteYes Lowell. Thank you.
Deletea novel way to protest. But the sad fact remains that --- the common man's plight is completely ignored by congress.
ReplyDeleteIndeed!
DeleteLolz .. people are getting more innovative by the day.
ReplyDeleteThe poor common man - six cylinders a year. And if they run out where do they go? Some individuals will earn huge bribes to let them buy and sell on the black market. And I've heard MPs use anything from 30 to about 90 cylinders a year. Hope the protests are effective.
ReplyDeleteBeyond six they have to purchase the non subsidised hence pay double.
DeleteVery interesting post. It's tough when necessities must be rationed. Best Wishes from Saudi Arabia.
ReplyDeleteThank you Susie. Best wishes to you too!
Deletej & K Chief Minister surrenders his 2nd cyl, claims he did not know he had another connection. joke cause a consumer has to sign an application to get a connection.
ReplyDeletewhy not have adhar no compulsory for everything ? it would eliminate duplication and all data with the oil cos should be centralised so that consumption can be tracked. Of course, parliament would come up with a clause exempting themselves from the cap or maybe allot themselves free supply of gas since they need to entertain their voter base like they have free mtnl calls, train & air travel etc etc. why not petrol & diesel also?

Great idea, whosoever conceived it!! Wonderful sharing, Deepak. Every one is talking about cylinders today!
ReplyDeletehahahaha!!! these folks are so innovative--this is the way common folks resist and your photograph participates in the process by spreading the message further!
ReplyDeletehow many of these are allowed? Only 6 per street or more?
ReplyDelete:) Good idea! Electricity is failing, gas cylinders are enough. What do we have left in India?
