Collectors to lobby for the appointment of new LPG distributorships under the marketing plan of the Oil Companies.
GOACAN had also written to the Chief Minister & Civil Supplies Minister of Goa, the Chairman & Managing Directors of the three Petroleum Companies and three Members of Parliament from Goa seeking their intervention in the matter. The problems faced by the LPG consumers were then also highlighted & discussed by MLAs from all political parties in the just concluded session of the Goa Legislative Assembly.**** **** Meanwhile GOACAN is awaiting the appointment of at least 10 more regular LPG distributors who will then cater to the city based consumers who are presently facing hardships due to the inability of some of the existing distributors to provide efficient service.**** **------------------------------**-------------------- GOA CIVIC AND CONSUMER ACTION NETWORK ------------------------------**------------------- promoting civic and consumer rights in Goa ------------------------------**------------------ GOACAN Post Box 187 Margao, Goa 403 601 GOACAN Post Box 78 Mapusa, Goa 403 507 mail: [email protected] Visit:h**ttp://goacan.blogspot.com** **------------------------------**----------------------------------- ** ****
