Cooking gas
Black Market

Hi,

I recently relocated back to India and settled in Gurgaon. I approached nearby Cooking Gas Distributors and was told that IOC has discontinued issuing new gas connections for the next 3 months and one has to put an application today in a very cumbersome process and wait for atleast 3-5 months. Upon getting new connecton allotment, one has to pay around Rs. 3500 which include mandatory purchase of cooking stove and burner.

Due to paucity of cooking gas, lots of unscrupulous black marketeers are thriving in the region who are demanding huge deposits and refill charges.

I have also lodged complaint on the IOC website but have not heard so far.

Is there a way to put across the concerns to higher and honest officials / government departments who can address the above issues.

It is a shame that where India markets itslef a fastes growing country with brightest minds, there still exist petty situation like the above.

Regards

Sant
