Hurdles in LPG delivery
The delivery of LPG cylinders across Assam has been hit by twin problems — barricading of roads by people in towns and villages to prevent the entry of outsiders and delivery boys being allegedly looked down as “potential carriers” of the coronavirus.
“Matter has turned from bad to worse after the number of Covid-19 cases swelled in the state. Not one worker turned up for work today (Sunday),” said Probin Hazarika, general secretary, North East Indane Distributors Association, and gas agency owner at Dergaon in Upper Assam’s Golaghat district.
“Customers are assuming the delivery boys could be potential carriers of the virus as they are going from one household to another, including places where residents have tested positive,” he claimed.
