Deputy Commissioner Sushil Sarwan today gave clear instructions to gas agencies, stating that they should ensure domestic gas cylinders are not supplied to commercial establishments. Sushil Sarwan presided over the meeting organized with representatives of various gas agencies in the district at the auditorium of the Mini Secretariat on Tuesday.
The Deputy Commissioner emphasized that there have been instances where domestic gas cylinders are being used by restaurants, dhabas, and other business establishments.
Gas agencies should ensure that only commercial cylinders are supplied to restaurants and dhabas. Additionally, they should ensure that cylinders used in homes and commercial establishments are not underweight. He mentioned that if any gas agency is found supplying domestic gas cylinders to commercial establishments, appropriate action will be taken.
Sarwan further stated that the concerned gas agencies should issue strict instructions to employees involved in supplying gas cylinders to curb such incidents. Gas agencies play a crucial role in implementing the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Scheme of the Central Government, and therefore, their responsibility is paramount. Gas agencies contribute significantly to social welfare, and Sarwan urged them to strengthen the distribution system to enhance consumer confidence.
