GANGTOK, 21 Apr: Sikkim Pradesh Congress Committee [SPCC] has
questioned the efficacy of the coupon system used in issuing LPG cylinders. The
party has demanded that the concerned department take appropriate action and
stop this practice. SPCC has further said that if the practice is not
discontinued within a week, the party will lodge FIRs against the distributors
across the state.
In a press release, SPCC has alleged that the coupon system
is encouraging black marketing of LPG n the state. It has further alleged that
many consumers are being refused their supply even though there is sufficient
stock in the godowns on the pretext that their coupon is invalid and other such
excuses.
