This is to bring to the notice of concerned authorities that Indian Oil corporation has fixed 21 days from the day of previous supply as the gap required to make a booking. This rule might have been framed with the target of supply within 2 or 3 days. Practically, to the inconvenience of the consumers only the time limit of 21 days is being insisted by the supplying agencies and not the supply target. Presently agencies take about 15 to 20 days for the supply.
With the above supply system a small family would be getting only around 9 to 10 cylinders per year with which it is not possible to meet the requirements. Now as most of the users have no alternate option, consumers are forced to pay more and the workers supplying the gas are also demanding more.
In order to avoid the inconvenience caused to consumers and to restrict the agencies from fraudulent pracices, vigil should be kept on the agencies by the department.
The restriction of 21 days required for booking is to be removed and the requirement of small families (Min 4 members) is to be considered as 12- 15 cylinders per year.
Agency: Navarathna gas agency, Shaikhpet- Hyderabad. Cons. No: 24571.
