Subject: complaint on misuse of LPG, as per your AD
To
Maharashtra Incharge (LPG complaints)
Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas,
Sub: Complaint of misuse of domestic LPG for non-domestic purposes.
Re: Your regular advertisments in the newspapers.
Dear Sir,
Further to your advertisements appearing regulary on requesting citizens to point out misuse of doestic LPG for Non-domestic purposes, I hereby point out the following places where you can conduct raids and arrest the persons responsible.
1.. At Mumbai Central Railway Station, the Railway canteen on platform number 4, uses the domestic LPG cylinders for commercial purposes. When I questioned them, they tried to defend saying that the railways sends it to them. They even confidently stated that the Railways provide more than 100 cylinders to all such eating shops on railway premises in Mumbai. Therefore, such a thing needs to be investigated at the earliest.
2.. Outside Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies, Vile Parle (West), the local dosa hawker uses domestic LPG for commercial purposes in gross violation of the Liquefied Petroleum Gas Control Order, 2001.
Hereby, acting on my complaint, you are enjoined to conduct the raids as per law.
You may contact me on ------------------------- for further details.
