Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit admitted that black marketing of the Kerosene oil is common in the city and raised concerns over it.
“Time has come to request the centre to reduce the allocation of Kerosene oil as large part of the city does not use it and it is used for black marketing”, Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit said while addressing the annual conference of officers of Delhi Government on Tuesday. Referring recent survey of Delhi, she said that we (Delhi government) should request to increase supply of LPG as over 92% houses in the city use LPG cylinders instead of kerosene oil.

We will have to take corrective steps in order to cater to the needs of food requirement of the people, she added. She stated that the city government is waiting for food security bill to be finalized by the Union government.
