[Resolved]  Indian Oil Corporation — gas leak noticed in almost every cylinder booked in 2014

Address:

Chennai, Tamil Nadu

dear sir, my consumer no is 1673([protected]) .My cylinders are supplied by Sri Ambiram Indane Gas Agency in Sholinganallur, CHENNAI. Almost all the cylinders supplied by them during the year 2014 were noticed for gas leak and it was complained to the distributor. They will send one person babu to rectify. He will place one washer int he cylinder and get his 50 rs. and gets away. Like wise i lodged a compliant on 22nd may when i changed my new cylinder, he rectified the same at 11.45 am. i placed the compliant at 9.15 am. Usually my cylinder will last from 55 days to 60 days. But to my surprise the cylinder got exhausted on 26th June today. it had last only 34 days. Now I suspect that the gas theft is happening. Previously in Chennai in a single area people complained of gas theft by a certain group who steal gas in connivance of the delivery boys.I have read the same in local newspaper. I suspect the same in our area. and since my cylinder exhausted so soon, i have seen the boys opening and closing the seal on their own and stealthily fixing the same.I suspect the same. and I request all the top management concerned to watch the delivery personnel connected to this agency with particular reference to those who deliver to my residence in Perungudi., Chennai time and again many gas bursts are happening due to gas leaks. Nowadays i fear to open the cylinder even. W e are innocent home makers who struggle to make both ends meet.how can w e manage the family expenses if the cylinder last only for 35 days or so. I have to shell out more every month.Kindly do the needful sir. I strongly suggest that a simple weighing machine in the delivery vehicle to check in case of any doubt could go a long way in tackling the problem.I strongly doubt that the full cylinders and being tampered with and the gas is siphoned off in collusion with the delivery boys in Perungudi area. That may be the reason for gas leak. I am registerin this complaint with a strong belief of Gas Theft since the cylinder lasted only for 34 days, with no additional usage that regular cooking. Thks and regards. An acknowledgement for this complaint from ur side will be highly appreciated. My email id. is "[protected]@gmail.com . Faithfully V.Subhalakshmi
