Tamenglong, February 20 2015 :
With the objective to redress the problem of shortage of domestic Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) in Tamenglong district, a new body called 'Tamenglong Domestic (LPG) Consumer Welfare Association' under Consumers' Club, Tamenglong branch was formed during a public meeting held at Children Park here on Thursday.
During the public meeting, many speakers expressed unhappiness at the district's lone gas agency "Thomson Indane Gas Agency" for charging Rs.6500 for new LPG connection with single cylinder as against Rs.500 deposit mentioned in the gas book.
Many speakers also shared their resentment with the gas agency for charging Rs.1050 for getting enrolment in DBTL, and appealed to the agency not to charge any money while changing the consumers' names.
They also appealed to all LPG consumers in the district to get enrolled in the association and work collectively to redress the LPG issues at the earliest.
