Port Blair, Oct 27: Entire region of Mayabunder is once again facing serious shortage of LPG cylinders, leaving general public high and dry.
According to reports since last few months residents of the area are not getting filled LPG cylinders on time.
Residents complain that they have to wait for the LPG truck for several hours and even if the truck arrives, many have to return empty handed.
“The CCS must issue cylinders to those people first, who have a proper booking but at Mayabunder people have to virtually fight to get a cylinder even if he has proper booking,” complained a resident of the area.
Meanwhile the Member of Parliament of Andaman and Nicobar Islands has already highlighted this issue but nothing has been done in this regard yet.
Mr. Aruloli, Sarpanch, Pokkadera Panchayat sent a letter with more than 100 signatures of general public, to the Chief Secretary on 3/10/2016 for proper distribution of LPG Cylinders by private agencies but still till date no action in this regard has was taken.
