[Resolved]  Indane LPG Domestic Supply — Harrassing

Sub: How petty the PSUs under your Ministry can be?

Dear Sir,

I am an under privileged Senior citizen, having an INDANE LPG connection No 2884 being serviced by M/s Babu Agencies, Perumbavoor, Kerala.

Like all LPG consumer located in backward locations, elsewhere in the country, I too have my cup woes, filled by erratic, irregular & no supplies, under weighed cylinders etc., etc, Outside the town limits the LPG Agency send there trucks with refill cylinders, that are exchanged with empty ones, en-route the main roads. People like us who are in the interior cart our empty cylinders to the exchange point and wait for supplies that never arrive on the pre-fixed days. And we keep carting cylinders up & down till our luck strikes. Thus those that are privy to advance information on supply dates or having residence on the main road will have their supplies leaving us naïves to up & down carting of cylinders.
Having had enough of the travails I had been to the INDANE agency to-day and was very politely told by the Manager that he cannot help the supply position unless the country’s energy situation looks up, but he was quick to point out that my woes will continue till I transfer my connection from his agency to an HP gas agency, located at my village that alone has an exclusive mandate to service me. And he had displayed his advice in his notice board also.
When approached the so mandated agency Tharamol Agency, Koovappady, its Manager was also very sweet & polite, but regretted his inability to accept local transfers as somebody high up in the ladder in HP has told him not to accept local transfers as the revenue on local transfers is not lucrative enough for them. A fall out of Globalization I may add
Now I am thrown to an unenviable situation where two agencies under two public sector corporations of India are playing shylock with a senior citizen whose humble requirement is a LPG refill once in 40 days.
As I can see no way out of this impasse I am approaching you sir, to tell me which door’ if not yours I should knock, to get a legitimate LPG refill once in 40 days at this old age.

Yours truly

KR Rajendran
