Srinagar, Oct 03 : The consumers in different parts of Srinagar here have complained of facing acute shortage of LPG, accusing the agencies of ignoring their plights.
The news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) has received several phone calls from the consumers from different parts of Srinagar and outskirts, claiming that their bookings for the LPG cylinders have been kept on hold for a long time now.
“As we approach the concerned gas agencies, we are being told that there is a shortage of the supply,” Irfan Ahmad, one of the consumers said.
He said that they are facing such a situation from the last one month, adding that the booking has been done, but the agencies are clearly refusing the delivery due to the shortage of the supply.
“Those associated with the agencies to deliver the LPG cylinders at doorsteps have also switched off their phones, pushing the consumers to suffer,” Ahmad, who hails from Hyderpora, said.
The situation is no different in city areas like Chattabal where the people have raised concerns after the delivery for the LPG cylinders have come to a halt for unknown reasons.
The consumers demanded immediate redressal of their grievances and urged the administration to look into the matter and ensure that the issue is resolved at an earliest.
The complaints have been received at a time when the weatherman here has predicted a wet spell in Jammu and Kashmir, forecasting the possibility of rains and snow till October 07, which according to the IMD advisory would hit the surface traffic as well—(KNO)
