Imphal, January 21 2016: For maximum number of the State's LPG distributors, the backlogs in terms of refill distribution has been reduced to a few days as per official records.

However, according to information given by these distributors through newspapers for delivery of refills, backlogs extending from 45 days to two months still exist.

The IOC is aware of this huge variation between the actual backlogs and the offi- cial backlogs.

Kim-Joe Gas Service, Churachandpur district is one of the LPG distributors of which the backlog has been reduced to a few days.

The distributor has around 10243 active consumers and it has delivered refills to all consumers who made their bookings on January 14 or earlier.

Between January 14 and 18, 4293 consumers made fresh bookings with the dis- tributor whose performance is rated excellent.

Altogether 74 consumers made their bookings on Janu- ary 14, 1004 consumers on January 15, 1229 consumers on January 16 and 1986 con- sumers made their bookings on January 18.The number of consumers who made their bookings between January 19 and 21 could not be ascer- tained.

The distributor has been delivering 261.46 refills in a day on the average and one of its consumers has received 12 refills this financial year.

According to IOC's calcu- lation, if a household consumes seven refills of 14.2 Kg in a year, it is rated as average consumption.

Consumption of 12 refills in a year can be termed extra- ordinary if one takes into account the vast majority of the State's LPG consumers who find it hard to get even four/five refills.

Two other consumers of the same distributor have also been delivered 11 refills each.

10 refills each have been delivered to 12 consumers, nine refills each to 23 consumers and eight refills each to 75 consumers.

However, the vast majority of consumers have been issued only one to four refill(s) each.
