Non-subsidized LPG price hiked by Rs. 26.50 to Rs. 922 per cylinder

Edited by Amit Chaturvedi | Updated: November 01, 2012 15:37 IST

New Delhi: The price of non-subsidised cooking gas cylinders has been increased by Rs. 26.5.

The 14.2-kg cooking gas cylinder that consumers buy beyond their entitled six bottles at subsidised rates, will  now cost Rs. 922, up from Rs. 895.50 in Delhi, according to Indian Oil Corporation, the nation's largest fuel retailer.

A subsidised cylinder costs Rs. 410.42  in Delhi. There is no restriction on the number of non-subsidised cylinders that a consumer can buy beyond the six subsidised bottles.

In September, the government reigned in subsidies by introducing a limit of six discounted cylinders for every household.  That reform was one of the reasons for the exit of Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress from the Prime Minister's coalition, reducing his government to a minority.

The Congress has said that in states where it is in power, nine subsidised cylinders will be made available to families every year.

State-owned oil firms revise rates of non-subsidised LPG on 1st of every month based on the average imported cost and rupee-US dollar rate during the previous month.

Why I wear a Rose Quartz

Rose quartz is a type of quartz that exhibits a pale pink to rose red hue. The color is usually considered as due to trace amounts of titanium, iron, or manganese in the massive material. Some types of quartz contain microscopic rutile needles that produce an asterism in transmitted light. Recent X-ray diffraction studies suggest that the color is due to thin microscopic fibers of possibly dumortierite within the massive quartz. [15] In crystal form (rarely found) it is called pink quartz and its color is thought to be caused by trace amounts of phosphate or aluminium . The color in crystals is apparently photosensitive and subject to fading. The first crystals were found in a pegmatite found near Rumford, Maine, US, but most crystals on the market come from Minas Gerais, Brazil.

However, statistically with the biological benefit that girls have over boys for survival at this stage, the standard ratio of child mortality for the rest of the worl
