That's what the Petroleum ministry is planning to help working couples in metros who stay out all day

Who will take the day off from work when the LPG cylinder man comes calling?

Does this question sound familiar? If it does, the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas has good news for you.

If the ministry's plans succeed, the cooking gas delivery man will arrive after you are home from work.

The ministry is planning to extend the time for home delivery of LPG cylinders till 10 pm. And the cylinder will be delivered at the time specified by you. "In cities, most homes have working couples. In many cases, all members of a family work and nobody stays at home during the day. In such cases, the time of cylinder delivery creates problem. Someone has to stay at home to receive it. Or the delivery man returns and the consumer have to call up the agency again for a fresh schedule. The new scheme will solve this problem," said Jitin Prasada, minister of state for petroleum and natural gas.
