Shillong, July 05: The district administration has already started the home delivery from 1st june 2014 onwards and system of point delivery has been discontinued.
however several complaints have been received by the dist administration regarding non delivery of cylinders at the DOOR STEPs of the consumers.
it was also complained that the gas agencies are parking their delivery trucks on the road side and forcing the consumers to collect the cylinders from the road side thus leading to hardships and harassment.
To enforce the home delivery, the administration has made teams to check such practice and in the process seized the delivery truck belonging to M/s Longkmie Gas Agency carrying 31 cylinders parked near Laban Last Stop on 5th july and distributing the cylinders from the roadside instead of home delivery. the team was led by magistrate Shri Ronnie Wahlang.
More crack down will continue in future and gas agencies are warned not to over charge and ensure home delivery of cylinders without fail and exception.
It is made ample clear that the home delivery charges decided by the admn is Rs. 25/- per cylinder over and above the reserve sale price which is Rs. 421/- as of now. that is for home delivery the charge would be Rs. 446/-. the consumers are requested to note this and not to pay any extra money for home delivery.
Also the LPG connection PORTABILITY has already been launched similar to the mobile numbers portability. those consumers who are not happy with the services of their gas agency can shift to another gas agency of their choice without changing the connection number with a small formality with the new gas agency. This will ensure better services.(SP News)
