LPG connection confusion-Fresh guidelines to clear doubts
The Food and Civil Supplies department wants to link the ration cards (Above Poverty Line) with RR numbers so that it can weed out bogus cards. This exercise is to weed out bogus PDS ration cards and illegal LPG connections.
Many customers complained that the department’s advertisement in newspapers did not clarify what records should those who do not possess APL cards submit.There were long queues of LPG connection-holders in many parts of the city to submit details to cylinder distributing agencies. However, as the agencies themselves are confused about the guidelines, card-holders were left in a fix.
The Food and Civil Supplies Department has made it mandatory for LPG consumers to submit RR numbers and copies of APL cards to continue getting LPG supply.Even though the state government has extended the deadline by 10 days from January 29, the Karnataka government on Saturday issued fresh guidelines to clear doubts over submission of particulars for LPG holders.
Consumers with APL cards should submit their Consumer name, LPG consumer number, RR number and Enclose a copy of ration card, Enclose a copy of recent electricity bill, Consumer address and contact number. The LPG Consumers without APL cards should submit their Consumer name, LPG consumer number, RR number and Enclose a copy of recent electricity bill, Consumer address and contact number. If two or three houses are attached to one electricity meter, all the consumers have to provide the same RR number of the meter.
The Food and Civil Supplies Department has launched a toll-free phone line (1800-425-9339) to receive customers’ complaints and clarify their doubts.

Sir/Madam, The appropriate action was to be taken to ban the use Gas cylindera for vehicles, under the situation firstly ban should be made for useing Gas cylinders to the vehicles from transport department. which will help to reduce the pressure on Gas cylinders and in turn LPG used only for cooking purpose. Petrol and Diesel used for Vehicles but it cannot be used for cooking purpose. Illegal connection rose due to Gas cylinders used for vehicles also. This issue may please be looked into elaborately to find the fact of the matter. Thanks.
Dear Janardhanan,
If you have two LPG connections, you should declare both connections separately one after the other and give same RR and ration card number for every entry. If you have any extra LPG connection but not using it frequently, then also you should declare it separately along with your same RR and ration card number. According to source, this is only a formality to connect ration card with LPG consumer and eliminate bogus Ration cards. It is also said that if a consumer failed to submit details his connections will not be stopped but it is mandatory for Gas dealers to have the details of their consumers such as RR Number, Consumer Name & address, Ration card number (if any) etc.
Thank you
Regards

Further as when I book for a refilling cylinder the same must get on the next day that arrangement also to be made.

Yes, and the private gas operators are seeing a big rush. Next you may be asked to carry a BPL ration card before you can get into a state subsidized transport bus or give your business to autoricks and taxis, next carry your BPL ration card for entry into a state school or give your business to the so-many new schools, carry your BPL ration card for entry to state funded engineering college through CET or give your business to the many empty engineering colleges scattered around.
Well Done Shobha, For the time being you have taken off attention of the misdeeds of the CM, Yeddyurappa from the Public of Karnataka. They are more engrossed in protecting their LPG connections. Bravo!
