SHILLONG: Shillong is facing a shortage of LPG cylinders at a time when festive season is approaching.
Speaking on the issue, DC Supply, PS Dkhar admitted that he has been receiving complaints about shortage of LPG cylinders in the city.
He said that his officers are reviewing the matter with Indian Oil Corporation on a daily basis to ensure that the shortage is taken care of at the earliest. Magistrates are also being sent for spot verification to take stock of the situation.
