Secretary of the organization Dilip Kumar Mazumder  stated that due to short sightedness and negligence around  350 commercial consumers future are in stake.    According to Dilip, TNGCL  after getting notice  from  union petroleum ministry issued adjusted  bills to the commercial consumer dating   nine years back, which amounts lakhs of rupees.  Even though  all commercial consumers were payng bills regularly.

All of sudden TNGCL  issued an order that after correction factor (CF)  the consumers have to pay at the rate of  1.49 instead of 1.43, this was protested by the committee. The new bill are  irrational and under any circumstances it will not be paid, said the secretary. 

On the other hand TNGCL claimed that due to techinical mistake the bill was charged at the rate of 1.43, on this the secretary said why should  consumer’s bear the mistake  done by TNGCL, it was made clear to the MD at the meeting.  

However the state  government  is acting as mute spectator over the  ongoing tussle between TNGCL and Consumer association.  Interest of many people are  related with the issue, the government till date did not took up the matter with the concerned authorities.
