ALWAYS A PAIN TO BOOK A CYLINDER WITH THIS BRANCH.tHE PHONE IS USUALLY OFF THE HOOK(ACTUALLY WALKED INTO THE CENTRE AND SAW THIS ), OR THE STAFF IS ON A BREAK.
MORE SERIOUSLY, WE WERE GIVEN A LEAKING CYLINDER AT 2.00 PM TODAY.ON PROTESTING, THE PERSON ASSURED US THAT THE SMELL WAS NOT LEAKAGE,AND WILL GO OFF SHORTLY.
AFTER AN HOUR,WE STARTED CALLING THE OFFICE FROM 3.00 PMTO COMPLAIN,BUT THE PHONE WAS ANSWERD ONLY BY 5.30 PM.
SERVICE MAN FINALLY SHOWS UP AT 6.45PM AND FIDDLES AROUND WITH THE CYLINDER.LEAKAGE DOESN'T STOP, SO HE SAYS HE'LL BE BACK THE NEXT DAY TO TAKE CARE OF IT.WHEN WE PROTEST THAT WE DONT WANT A LEAKING CYLINDER IN OUR HOUSE FOR 24 HRS,HE SAYS CARTING CYLINDERS IS NOT A PART OF HIS JOB PROFILE.WHEN WE ASK FOR THE CYLINDER TO BE TAKEN AWAY, WE ARE TOLD THAT ALL PERSONNEL HAS LEFT FOR THE DAY.
THE SERVICE MAN IS ARGUMENTATIVE,RUDE AND TOTALLY REFUSES ANY SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY.
MEANWHILE, ON CALLING THE CENTRE, IT'S NO REPLY AS USUAL.tHE SERVICE MAN REFUSES TO GIVE ATERNATE MOBILE/EMERGENCY NUMBERS, OR CONTACT OF ANY PERSON IN AUTHORITY,BUT STEPS OUT OF MY HOUSE TO PROMPTY MAKE CALLS THROUGH HIS MOBILE-REPORTING THE INCIDENT.SURPRISINGLY, HIS CALL IS TAKEN AT THE CENTRE, BUT STILL NO REPLY TO OUR CALLS.
THIS CENTRE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A POOR SEVICE PROVIDER,BUT THIS APATHY TO EMERGENCIES LIKE LEAKAGE IS SHOCKING!!!

i am writing here certain points on which we the people of Rajajipuram need your concern
1. No complaint register is given to us when we want to make any comlaint and after a long conversation, they just give a duplicate register.
2. Workers of the gas agency behave in a ill mannered way with the customers
3. No verifiation of the complaint register has been done by any Indane oil corporation officers.
4. None of the workers are properly dressed in their uniforms neither do they wear they name badges.
5. When we enquire about their names so as to make any complaint.... they usually dont tell their name or give any invalid name.
6. Agency owner as well as the manager never meet any customer directly so as to solve their problem ever.
7. No signboards and notice board are available in the Gas Agency office to help the customers to proceed in a proper criteria when they are in certain problems, such as
=> when one wants to transfer gas connection
=> when one wants to make any complaint to someone
=> to apply for double cylinder, etc
8. Gas booking can ever be cancelled by the workers of the agency without any prior notice and suitable reasons, whenever they want.
9. Gas is never checked for weight and other criterions before dilevery.
10. Booking Coupon is always given after 12 p.m. no matter what sort of emergency is happening with the customer.
11. None workers are there on time. Punctuality is never maintained in office.

13. Residential Gas is openely used commercially without anyones objection.
14. Priorities of Gas agency is alwayz valued irrespective of the customer's satisfaction, specially regarding time of delivery of gas.
15. thers no generator facility available in the agency. lot of inconvinence for the customers when theres no electricity.
16. If the regulator is not in a proper condition of the cyllinder, workers of the agency pay no heed to it.
17.generally the seal of the cyllinder is not tight.
18. in special cases of public usage such as ceremonies, bhandaras, etc, extra cyllinders are not issued from the agency posing quite a number of difficulties for the customer.
19. Black marketing of Gas is done openly.
20. Shri Naveen Pandey, owner of agency is well mannered and polite but have no control over the staff.
21. no body recieves the complaint of agency
22. No suitable explanation is given when they are questioned for late delivery of gas cyllinder.
23. Workers unnneccessary put objections on different requests of the customer and genearaaly ask for "authority" etc.

I booked a request of refilling of my indane gas cylinder - consumer no 013276 and Agency M/s B.N.Gupta & Co, Patel Gali, Vishwas Nagar, Delhi-32. The request was made on given phone no. on 2/6/11 but cylinder was not delivered till 10/6/11. On making a complaint, it was delivered on 10/6/11. It was noticed that foul smell is emitting from that cylinder. A Complaint was made to emergency service. A mechanic came and found it was leaking and gave in writing that cylinder is leaking and may be replaced immediately. Next day on 13/6/11, the mechanic report was given to the gas agency for replacing of cylinder. Till date i.e. 15/6/11 the agency has not changed the cylinder. There is imminent danger of mishapening due to leakage of gas. An immediate intervention is requested to replace the cylinder.

I have a connection of Indane for home use cylinder. My consumer no is P7649 and my distributor is at Uttarpara, Hooghly (Pioneer Consumer). When I am going to book for the cylinder through IVRS, it is not working for the last 15 days. When I went to the distributor, they are not registering my booking. So, how could I book my cylinder? The same problem is happening for the last 1 month. The cylinder delivery is very irregular for the last 1 year. The behavior of the distributor is very rough. Everyone at Uttarpara have the same problem. We are facing this problem for past 1 year. Please take some steps regarding this matter.

CYLINDER NOT SUPPLIED
SIR,
Last month DATED 23/05/2011, I had booked a cyllinder with M/S ANIRUDH GAS SEWA RAJENDRA NAGAR PATNA. My consumer number is LT 1381. Till date, the same is not delivered to me. When I went to the agency to enquire about it, the staff had used filthy language against me. I request you to please.

Hi,

I wanted to complaint against the Gas Agency "Associated Traders, Chennai" for delay in delivery and irresponsible answers. We had booked the cylinder more than a fortnight ago and they said that they would be delivering this week (from 30th May - 3rd June 2011) but still not been delivered. When contacted they are giving irresponsible answers. I have a small 2.5 Years child and we need to give her hot milk but we have to go out and get the milk from a nearby tea shop continuously for 2 weeks. Secondly, if we have to take her to a hospital also, we need to avoid it because if we miss the gas delivery person, then they would not provide us with the cylinder subsequently. I don't understand whether they should work for the customers or we are looking like slaves to them since we always have to beg and requests otherwise they would not deliver the cylinder the next time if we talk harshly. Such hardships are happening with this agencies.

I also see that the cylinder are being sold in black but not given to customer like us. My customer Id is 9154 and I still haven't received my cylinder yet. Can someone help us in this regards or advise me how to proceed to lodge a harsh complaint so that consumers like me would not be affected anymore.

regards
Govind Davey

We booked a gas cylinder (indane gas) through the interactive telephone booking system (contact no. [protected]) on 25th April 2011.In response to our booking we received a confirmation number 259823
Our gas agency is Ms Vimal Gas Agency, Palluruthy, Kochi- 682 006 (Phone No.[protected].Even after 45 days of waiting, the booked cylinder was not delivered.When enquied,the gas agency said that they have not received any information on our booking.
We tried to register a complaint through the toll free number [protected] they tried to hold us for a long time,thereafter offered some ineffective advices and subsequently cut the line.

A consumer (No.29303)

I have register with Nataraj Enterprises, Indane Gas Distributors, Yelahanka, Bangalore. The consumer no is 50074. Past three years I am facing delay in supply of refill cylinder. It takes nearly 12 to 15 days to get the refill cylinder after booking. This really lands me in trouble. Sometimes I have beg my friend for a cylinder. When I asked the manager, he say he is helpless and can not do anything. If the authority can look into it.

Gruhasova indane gas service of ROURKEALA is always delays the supply of the riffils to the home. Also booking on the telephone is not responed many a times , it takes several hours to book on the telephone, some times phone is engaged for a long period and some times it is not responded. I have two cylinders , but they are mantaining delivery record/schedule of one cylinder only . I have jont family so one cylinder is consumed in nearly 25 days. they allow booking of cylinder after 20 days and after booking we get cylinder after 30 days . So to get one cylinder it takes nearly 50 days and we are unable to maintanin the second cylinder which put us in trouble, to use some alternate souce for cooking. Please suplly the cylinders as soon as possible ( max, 3 DAYS) after booking , to maintain the second cylinder. Also delivery boys are coming to home suddenly after number of days has passed without prior information , if home owner is gone for some urgent works at outside or gate is locked ( still persons remain inside during afternoon , generally when people get some rest at home) delivey boys returns the cylinder to the dustributor saying the door is locked and LPG distibutor deletes the seniority list of the consumer without giving second chance. If distributor is so rigid on delivery date , they have to inform in advance the date on which riffill will be supplied .

I HAVE A GAS CONECTION N.23060 BY NAME IS YADVENDRA SHARMA AT MORENA M.P. SOME TIME AGO I HAVE A PROVLEM SO I CAN NOT BOOK GAS. AFTER SOME TIME I COME OUT MY PROVLEMS I WANT BBOKED GAS BUT AGENCY SAID THAT YOUR N. HAS BLOCK OUT SO YOU SHOULD RE ENTER YOUR DOCUMENT . I HAVE DONE SAME THEM ADVISE . BUT MY CONECTION COULD NOT RESTArT SO RESTART AS SOON AS OTHERWISE I WLL GO IN CONSUMER COURT

sir ,i am using indane gas for past 15 years,i took my connection from delhi and later transferred to kollam (kottarakara) my native place when we came here to settle.

sir i have a serious complaint regarding the delivery of filled cylinders,.actually we would have to wait for around 45 days for getting a new filled one after booking...any how we just bear it,the actual problem is that..the agency don't even deliver the cylinders that is the issued one.even we pays RS. 400 which is not the actual price of the cylinder and we get the bill for RS.364.35....Recently we booked for the filled cylinder on april 12..and when we called the agency on 28th.may...approximately after 45 days...they told me that my cylinder is already issued,,that is billed and is waiting for delivery, and they told me that i will get my cylinder delivered with in 31st may.,..today is june 4 and till now i made around 20 calls to the agency .and they are not responding..and even when they pick up they are making excuses.I have a strong feeling that they are selling the cylinders in black market.

Sir,i am a 48 year old women and me and my daughter stays alone.Its a difficult situation for me to handle.

where i must have to complain,...
