Faridkot, March 30

Oil marketing companies on Monday imposed a restriction on booking of refilling LPG cylinders for 15 days from the last supply so that each and every customer can get their cylinders refilled.

The supply is adequate and there is no need for panic, reads a letter of oil marketing companies such as India Oil, BPCL and HPC to their gas agencies dealers.

Booking restrictions are aimed at checking panic hoarding of LPG cylinders, reads the letter.

“Unwanted panic booking and unethical storage deprive genuine customers of LPG cylinders. So in a grave situation, all are requested to cooperate. We as a distributor of gas agencies assure that the situation will be absolutely normal in the coming four to five days,” said Sunil Jain, proprietor of a gas agency here.

A customer will not be able to book a cylinder if a 14.2 kg cylinder was delivered to him in the past 15 days and a 5 kg cylinder in the past seven days.
