Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) has clarified that consumer protection is a top priority for it, and the board “come down heavily” on companies failing to meet households’ gas requirements for new connections or supplies, The Economic Times (ET) has reported. The chairman of PNGRB, Anil Kumar Jain, said that it will take action against companies promoting more profitable compressed natural gas (CNG) at the cost of household connections.
Jain told ET, “It’s reported that the city gas distribution (CGD) licensees have been remiss in providing connectivity. In many cases, connections have been provided, but gas flow has not been initiated.”
