One had to pay a bribe of 25 to 30 thousand rupees to get a gas connection. In such a situation, even if one got a gas connection, he could not get cooking gas. There was a lot of shortage during festivals. There were many people who felt that they would not get cooking gas and if there was a rolling pin in the house, who would get beaten with it.'
