Maharashtra Natural Gas [Mngl] — Meter Installation

Address:

43/90, Navsahyadri Society, Karvenagar, Pune

I would like to know if i want to install meter outside kitchen where there is good ventilation and security available and contractor had given verbal confirmation before starting the work but once it started he is denying and saying there is amendment in act.
I went through policy of installation and it says "Gas Meters will normally be located inside the property on wall, and use of copper pipe between MCV and consumer meter should be restricted as far as possible. The Kitchen is the preferred room to locate the meter thereby minimizing the length of the outlet pipe - work."
Which means kitchen is "preferred" location and not compulsory location
Please can someone help to resolve
