Please prevent a Bhopal in Bombay
Beware Mumbaikars and its suburbs. Your safety and life is at risk. This time it is the disservice of MGL that may put you and your family at risk. It could kill your neighbours too. Please pay attention.
When you changed over from LPG gas cylinder usage to using the piped PNG offered by MGL if you noticed that your stove burners get extinguished after putting them on ‘SIM’ mode you are at grave risk. You must take immediate steps to keep you and your family safe.
PNG operates at a lower pressure than LPG. Therefore the technicians that install PNG increase the orifice diameter of the stove burner nipples (that are designed for LPG use). But, if they also do not make a corresponding increase in the gas-cock you would face the problem I described.
The technicians try to fleece consumers by demanding extra charges for doing this or they may simply not have the time to do all this work (depending on which part of the metropolis you are located or how educated or how strong you are at voicing your concerns). MGL cannot absolve itself of this service liability and any untoward happening will be sad. They charge us and do not do charity after all.
What is the point in inviting Bhopal to Bombay? And no dead comes back to life. Breast-beating and head-banging is useless after an accident.
The courts take lifetimes and justice-delivery is skewed in India. Buyer Beware.
