I went to Bharatgas distributor in Tripunithura(Jyothi gas) for applying new connection with valid documents(ration card and ID proof). However the distributor was not accepting my application. They were telling me to take stove from them to get new connection(available in 2 dyas). I said I have very good and expensive stove. They have not accepted my application and commented it will take more time if you dont take stove.
Since they have not accepted my application, I have no proof for applying for new connection and not sure will get one. This is delaying tactics to sell there accessories. I checked this subject with other nearby distributors and have the same experience
Jyothi Gas
Bharat Gas Distributor
Opp. Sanskrit College
Tripunithura
Cochin
I called the customer care number in cochin and I had similar response.
This illegal practice is done by nexus between the Bharatgas officials and distributor to make money
This is very serious matter as many people are trapped by these distributors to buy there stove and accessories. for getting commission.
