The much-hyped policy directive of timely and hassle-free delivery of cooking gas right at the doorstep of the consumers by the Ministry of Petroleum has proved hollow since some distributors operate by their whims.
Arbitrary, discriminatory and irregular delivery of cooking gas by some of the local distributors has spread discontent among the consumers here in the silk city.
Senior advocate and resident of Dr Powel Street, KP Acharya expressed his anger over his gas distributor M/s Utkal Indane at Aska Road for receiving Indane Gas refills irregularly.
He alleged that for last one year, the local distributor had been harassing and creating problems in delivering the refill cylinder at his door step and when he wanted to know the reason, he often gave baseless and fabricated answers.
