Gas cylinders or Bombs ?

India News: The problem of LPG shortage is quite common, but little is known about the expiry date of the cylinders, which is often misused to meet the rising demand.

It is noteworthy that every LPG cylinder has a due date for statutory testing in which it is checked for defects. This date is mentioned on one of the three iron plates that support the cylinder from above. According to a worker of a gas agency, 10 out of 100 cylinders are supplied to the consumers, after the due or expiry date. "Since a good percentage of people do not know about the fact that even cylinders have expiry dates, it goes unnoticed,"
