The Non-Gazetted Govt. Officers’ Association, A
& N Islands expressed serious concern over the recurring scarcity of LPG
cylinders in Middle Andaman. In a letter, addressed to the
Secretary-cum-Director of Civil Supplies, Shri T.S.Sreekumar, General Secretary
of the Association pointed out that the consumers from areas like Billiground,
Rangat and Kadamtala, are facing scarcity of LPG cylinders for a long time from
now due to delayed and irregular supply by CCS Ltd. The last supply of gas
cylinders in Billiground area was done on 17th December, 2015. The situation
is more alarming at Rangat and a large number of people throng around the truck
carrying cylinders, when it arrives once in a while. Altercation and clashes
are common between the CCS staff and consumers on such occasions. Government
employees are the worst affected category as no other alternate fuel like
kerosene/firewood is available to them.
The Association demanded immediate measures by
the Administration for regular supply of LPG at Billiground, Rangat and
Kadamtala area of Middle Andaman.
