New problem in the form of LPG Cylinders limitation

We are facing big problem with the introduction of new government policy. Government has limited only 6 cylinders per connection with immediate effect. (Even if it is increased to 9, it wont help us much)

Government has not taken into consideration the need of NGOs. We need 4 cylinders per month.

This month instead of 1600 Rs (400 Rs per cylinder) we payed around 4000 Rs.

It is worrying us a lot how to address this problem. If anybody has contact with the "Woman and Child Development department" please help us.

Hoping for some help.
