Sikkim Women’s Council discusses problems caused by new system governing LPG connections

GANGTOK, 09 Oct: Sikkim Women’s Council convened a meeting at the Council’s office under the chairmanship of its president, Paroo Lama on 08 October.
As per a press release, the meeting discussed at length the problems arising due to the new system adopted by STCS for obtaining fresh LPG connection. The meeting observed that the book in use at present is in itself an identity certificate of a person.
In spite of this, various documents are being asked by the STCS for obtaining a new book while there is utter confusion at the STCS counter where people are not guided properly while filling up the forms, the release alleges.
The Council further states that STCS has not announced where the consumers have to go for refilling their forms and adds that the notification issued by STCS is purely technical which should be properly interpreted in local language so that the public can easily understand the process.
The meeting unanimously passed a resolution to inform the concerned department and request for the required rectifications.
