The LPG connection holders under PMUY said that after getting the connections free of cost from the government the gas cylinders have been used for three to four months by each and every family but after that the users those are mostly BPL families are not in a position to refill the same and are in a hope from the government for free refilling to some period or till their position to get the LPG cylinders refilled from their source of income. The youth congress leader while addressing the locals expressed his concern over such situation and said that the present government has issued more than one crore of free LPG connections to the BPL and other rural residents during the last two years but the refilling percentage remained as it was prior to distribution of the free LPG connections because the people who got that connections are not in a position to get the cylinders refilled from their own income.
