LPG subsidy transfer scheme

The subsidy transfer scheme is not advisable and desirable. It can at best be extended to the poorest of the poor and that too based on accurate information on the number of poor people and without leaving any scope for looting the intended transfer of money by any middlemen by fraudulent means. The price of LPG should be made reasonable and affordable for all segments of society and its distribution should be made corruption free and without any manipulation. The dealers need to be effectively supervised and any body indulging in mal practices should be mercilessly dealt with. There needs an effective administration.
