Indane Cooking Gas — Buy a gas stove, or be ready for an indefinite delay for LPG connection

Address:

Gautam Buddh Nagar, Uttar Pradesh

This crusade for getting a legitimate gas connection from Agnihotri Gas Agency I have been trying to get a LPG Gas connection, but that seems to be not less than an Army mission. I had applied for the LPG connection on 7th February, 15 but because I didn’t want to buy a gas stove from the agency, as I already have one I was ORDERED to come & check next week. My next visit, I was asked to pay Rs. 250 cash to the agency, for getting my existing gas stove checked. I paid for it, but was surprised to know that I’ll not get a receipt against it. The person began to get rude when I asked for a reason. I withdrew to save myself from being embarrassed in front of other people. I was summoned after 2 days. Next visit was on 11 Feb, 15. I went there taking a leave from my office, fearing that weather I’ll be able to I’ll be able to get my gas connection respectfully. The gentleman at the desk took me to a nearby tea stall, and explained me that gas connections are available, but the delay was because of my arrogance. “MY ARROGANCE” but when did I …. He explained that don’t be adamant, and it is not possible to get a gas connection without bribing them by buying the over-priced stove from them. When he saw that I want to be idealistic, he went back & I was asked to pay another visit after 3 days. My next visit was on today, and the inspection guy did not come. When I inquired, I was asked to follow up with him. My gas connection is now not dependent on the date of application, but on the inspection person. Since one week now I have been trying to get in touch with Renuka Shukla, the area manager for Noida, but am not able to get in touch with her, nor am I getting any response from any of the complaint numbers. Because of this, I’m thinking it’s better to take a LPG cylinder in black, which I’m getting for a higher price, but it will save me from all this crusade. Please suggest if you have any suggestions.
