Is really there is no end for dis?????????

It is more than a year but still the situation is the same which was a year before or more than that.Realy should we say that there is no end of this problem, people have suffer from this problem some more years or for lifetime. It was a year before when there was great shortfall in the production of the LPG gas because of the blast in the plant site.

The major cause for the shortfall is the halt in production in Numailigarh refinery, but according to the Indian oil officials the shortage in the international market is the main reason for this.

Adding to this the situation is becoming more worse for the common people because of the middleman who are taking the advantage of the situation by charging more than even thousand or Rs 500- 600 extra for a single cylinder.

Even the indifferences between Central Govt. and the IOCL, the crises of LPG were worsening in the country particularly in Northeast which includes Barak Valley areas also.

Silchar has 4 LPG agents serving nearly 50,000 consumers but it is also reeling under an acute shortage from last year. And there is no hope of immediate respite from the ongoing situation. Locals believes that LPG agencies are hand in glove with the black marketers’ and are fully enjoying this situation as it has doubled their incomes too.prevoiusly one had to wait for 21 days for getting a cylinder after booking but the situation is such that one had to wait for at least 45 days that also there is no home delivery. To get a cylinder he had go to the agency and had wait for his turn that to ha had stand in line along with other consumers and their numbers even crosses 150.

Mr. Amol Kanti choudhury an retired serviceman and one of the consumers standing for his turn outside a gas agency said that a truck can carry at least 300 cylinders however the agencies distributes 100 only and the rest vanishes. One of the other consumers standing over there said that it takes more than a month to get a cylinder through the domestic distribution system but black marketers can  supply you anytime but they sell them for Rs1200 which two times more than the actual cost.

Miss Mehga Bhattacharya an university student mainly from Tripura living in rent for her studies in silchar shared that she was so helpless that she  purchased a half cylinder from a black marketer last month but paid him full price of it.
