Around 50,865 domestic LPG consumers in Bilaspur district risk disruption in their cooking gas supply if they fail to complete the mandatory E-KYC process for their connections within the next week.
District Controller of the Department of Food, Civil Supplies, and Consumer Affairs, Bilaspur, Brijendra Pathania, said on Thursday that, in line with directives from the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, E-KYC has been made compulsory for all active LPG connections.
He warned that LPG connections for which E-KYC remains incomplete may be blocked from booking or obtaining refills after the deadline expires in one week.
According to the official, there are currently 1,30,149 active domestic LPG connections in Bilaspur district. Of these, E-KYC has been completed for 79,284 connections, while it is still pending for 50,865 consumers.
