Manakkadan said several consumers have paid advances but have not received connections despite waiting for years. He said IOAGL had failed to take effective action despite repeated requests to address the problems. Municipal chairperson Jamal Manakkadan warned that the council could halt the project’s operations within the municipality unless pending issues are resolved. He alleged that some consumers who have connections are not receiving regular monthly bills, leading to hefty amounts when payments are eventually raised. The municipality supports the project but would not tolerate delays in services to consumers who had already paid, he added. Implemented by IOAGL, it aims to provide piped cooking gas to households and commercial establishments. Download the TOI App.
