SRINAGAR, AUG 01: The field executives of Legal Metrology Department booked two cooking gas
distributors for delivering the re-fill cylinders of LPG to the consumers
before weighing them on the scale. Under Legal Metrology (Packaged Commodities)
Rules 2011, every delivery boy of cooking gas cylinder has to keep an
electronic weighing scale of 50 kg available in the van and has to weigh the
cooking gas on it before supplying it to the consumer. In case, the cooking gas
cylinder is lesser in weight of gas by more than 150g, the cylinder is required
to be sent back to the bottling plant for re-filling.
Moreover, it was
observed that the delivery-boys were distributing gas without checking the
leakage of the gas valve, A penal sum of Rs.7000/- was slapped on the erring
delivery boys.
The rate for 14.2 kg gas for the month of August 2018 for district
Srinagar, Budgam, Pulwama and Anantnag has been fixed at Rs 914/- of which
subsidy component is Rs 386/- The consumers may lodge their genuine complaints
on the toll-free No 1800-180-7114 or on 0194-2490390 during office hours in
case any delivery-boy overcharges on refill cylinder or delivers gas cylinder
without weighing it. The consumers should also insist for weighment of
gas/cash-memo/leakage checking of cylinder.
