[Resolved]  Indane — irregularities and rude behaviour

The owner of GOLDEN GAS in Palam Vihar is a guy called Chadha. He comes to the office only at 2 pm, so thereis no way to contact him before that. His mobile phone No is a closely guarded secret. If you meet him, you will be forgiven if you mistake him for a truck driver. He has evidently missed his vocation - from his vocabulary and his behaviour, it is obvious that he would have done well behind the wheel.

I have two gas connections - 8141 and 8142. The second one was given to me as a special case when I was at the National Defence College in 1994. Last week I received a letter from the agency accusing me of having multiple connections in different names. The letter bore no date and was unsigned. What was worse, the address on the envelope read VK Gupta, instead of VK Singh. The letter warned : "If you do not surrender the connection your supply will be totally stopped and action will be taken against you as per the Gas Control Order. The Company/Distributor shall ahve no option except to intitiate legal action gainst you & you will be responsible for the same.'

I tried to tell him that the second connection was not obtained by me surreptiously. It was given to me by Indian Oil. I have since been transferred to 5-6 stations and used the connection at all my postings. He was welcome to confirm this from Indian Oil. Of course, if it they decided to withdraw it, i would have no hesitation in surrendering it.

What i object to is the rude behaviour of the manager. He is uncouth, unkempt and rude. The fact that there are 250 complanits against him on this site was news to me. Why must we suffer such people?

When I initially moved here in 2004, I found his cylinders were underweight by 5-6 Kgs. When I threatend to report the matter, things improved. But the practice continues. I am sure many others will vouch for this.
