Agreed that the subsidies would benefit the coffers of the govt, but how many would be able to afford it at the original rate. There are many who would be caught in, between the prospect of shelling out more money for a cylinder, and, changing over to other resources (?) available.

More steps like these will kill the purchasing power in a country that is riddled with corruption at every step.
