RAJIV NAYAN AGRAWAL

ARA-----------------------------Acting on the directives of the District Magistrate of Bhojpur, Tanay Sultania, an extensive raid campaign was launched across all blocks of the district to curb the illegal use of domestic gas. This campaign was conducted by a joint team comprising various officials, involving inspections of hotels, shops, and other commercial establishments. The primary objective of the campaign was to put an end to the illegal use of domestic gas in commercial settings, gas hoarding, and other irregularities, thereby ensuring a smooth and uninterrupted supply of gas to general consumers.

Under this campaign, surprise inspections were carried out at a total of 14 gas agencies and 73 other locations. During the inspections, 35 illegal gas cylinders were seized, and two First Information Reports (FIRs) were registered following the detection of irregularities. The administration has clarified that such actions will continue in the future, and strict measures will be taken against offenders to ensure that the general public does not face any inconvenience.

A District Control Room is operational within the district to address complaints related to LPG gas distribution; its telephone number is 06182-248702. At the sub-divisional level, specific contact numbers have been issued—06182-233325 for Arrah Sadar, 06181-223301 for Piro, and 06181-223048 for Jagdishpur—through which citizens may register their complaints.
