Such persons will be required to immediately surrender their domestic LPG connection.

Further, the amendment also prohibits Oil Companies from providing a domestic Liquefied Petroleum Gas connection, and/or supplying domestic Liquefied Petroleum Gas cylinder refills to a consumer who already owns a Piped Natural Gas connection.
