Days After Booking, LPG Cylinders Vanish Midway Nagpur: Amid the LPG crisis continuing to affect the city, a troubling trend has emerged: Several consumers are still not receiving cylinders even 15 days after booking, raising concerns about supply gaps and possible irregularities. Residents across the city have reported inconsistencies in delivery status, with online systems showing bookings as "in process" or "out for delivery" for unusually long periods. In some cases, cylinders are marked as "delivered" even though consumers never received them, fueling fears of black marketing and hoarding within the supply chain. The situation has forced many residents to queue up outside LPG agencies and distribution godowns once again, adding to their daily inconvenience. Gaurav Mishra, a resident of Pipla, described his experience: "I tried to book a cylinder online, but couldn’t. So I visited the agency in Ayodhya Nagar and booked my cylinder on March 17, sharing all required details, including the OTP. Days later, since I hadn’t received it, I checked online and it showed the cylinder was delivered the same day. Panicked, I went back to the agency, got a slip, and was told to collect the cylinder from the godown. I waited in line for four hours and finally got the delivery on Thursday." Another citizen, Avinash Yelne, recounted his ordeal: "I booked a cylinder at the end of February, but did not receive it. In March, I received a message that the cylinder had been delivered on March 21, while I was out of town. I also received the Rs40 subsidy, but not the cylinder." Many other residents have reported prolonged delays in cylinder delivery, along with difficulties in completing online bookings. Gas agency owner Mahendra Gawai acknowledged the problem, attributing it partly to technical glitches.#nagpur #oil_marketing_companies #gaurav_mishra #avinish_yelne #mahendra_gawai
