Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah Sunday directed for ensuring home delivery of LPG cylinders to the consumers in Srinagar city fixing March 31, 2013 as dead line. He also directed for initiating a time bound road map for putting in place this mechanism in towns and rural areas.
“LPG dealers should take immediate necessary action in this regard and give due publicity to the schedule of home delivery so that people are well aware about it and do not face any inconvenience”, he emphasized and said that the practice of delivering LPG cylinders to consumers on identified points in various areas should be done away with by ensuring home service by March 31. He asked the divisional administration to take all necessary measures in this regard and sensitize LPG dealers accordingly.
