Mayabunder, Aug 19: It seems getting a LPG Cylinders has become the most difficult task in Mayabunder region.
In several occasions in past, Andaman Sheekha and Channel One News have reported about poor LPG Cylinder distribution system in Mayabunder region but it seems that no action has been taken by CCS or Civil Supplies Department yet to manage the LPG crisis in Mayabunder region.
Today also the same struggle and scuffle could be seen at Mayabunder region where since 6.00 AM in the morning people with empty LPG cylinders were driving from one village to another to get hold of LPG distribution truck.
Those who found the truck made a long beeline behind the truck but wherever the truck stopped for distribution there were fight among people.
While people in the beeline were trying their best to get LPG cylinder first, people of villages were protesting against giving cylinders to outsiders.
Many could not manage a LPG cylinder even after a struggle for nearly 10 hours.
Public of Mayabunder allege that LPG cylinder could hardly reach Mayabunder as people of villages between Billyground to Mayabunder region, stop the trucks in their villages forcefully and take away all the cylinders, leaving nothing for people of Mayabunder area.
This seems that the LPG distribution system of Mayabunder region has totally collapsed and hence the CCS and Civil Supplies department must pay special attention to Mayabunder region to give some relief to the villagers.
