Dear Sir/Madam,
This is a complaint about HP Gas Dealer PetEmp Co-op, Dadar East. I have shifted homes in the last month. On Feb 22, I handed over my papers for a new gas connection, along with the form and requisite photocopies, for my new residence.
However, the employees at the PetEmp Coop have not even accepted the application. At the time, they said that cylinders are not available and to return on Mar 1, 2013 to inquire. Today, I went back to inquire about when new connection can happen. The lady there has now said that no new connections can happen till Mar 25, 2013. That I can call up by 25th and find out when it can happen.
Really, does it take more than a month to get a LPG cylinder in the city of Mumbai with valid paperwork? I have been living in Dadar East for over 30 years. I have shifted resdience from the ground floor (where I have LPG cylinder HP Consumer no 600179 in name of my mother Sumitra Samant) to third floor where I need a connection in my name.
How many days are we supposed to go without a valid gas connection in our name, inspite of having all valid papers? The rude employees at PetEmp routinely turn away consumers inspite of valid paperpwork. But cylinders are provided to anyone illegally on the side.
Sadly because of this behaviour of HP dealer employees, many societies in Mumbai are optiing for PNG connection. Whereas for people like us, do we have to resort to illegal means to get a LPG connection? Also the connection makes it compulsory for us to buy a gas stove, even when we do not require it. Why should we spend Rs 1400 extra when we already have a stove?
Hope that someone senior will look into this matter.
