Dear Sir / Madam,
I would like to inform you the ordeal I've been going through for last 7 (seven) months with respect to relocation of our gas meter in the same house. The first request ([protected]) for relocation of our gas meter was sent to IGL in May 2017.
Originally the gas meter was located in our kitchen which was not very prudent from accessibility (for meter reader), safety and security point of view.
To overcome the above mentioned issues we managed to find a location whereby the gas meter shall be accessible to the meter reader, safe from being vandalized and my parents (senior citizens) would not need to open the doors for the meter reader.
The new location is selected in such a way that the body of the meter shall remain in the apartment and the would be visible through a custom made apperture in the wall. See attached photo. The new location is open to atmosphere and is well ventilated. In addition to natural ventilation there are provisions for forced ventilation via chimney in the kitchen, exhaust fan in the adjacent bathroom & another exhaust fan in the stairwell.
The constructibility issue for convenient & ergonomic installation has also been carefully studied. The gas meter shall be connected to the inlet & supply (one of them being flexible) till the first bends before installing at the new location. Once installed at the new location shelf (shelf - see attached photo) the gas meter shall be secured by a bracket from back side to avoid any load on the connection pipes. For the remaining piping connections a suitable hole of diameter over 3" (over 75 mm) has been provided through the wall over the new location to keep the number of joints in the apartment to an absolute minimum. See attached photo.
Now the issue is that the Local IGL Supervisor from Sector 19 Control Room, Rohini who had initially demanded a few minor modifications to the new location is now refusing cooperate even though his desired modifications were implemented.
I would hereby request you to review this message with the attached photos and get our gas meter installed at the new location in the same apartment. The necessary details are as below:
Address: Rohini Sector 13
Thank you!
Rajiv
