The company has identified 400 such consumers in Ashiana, LDA colony, Gomtinagar, Indira Nagar, Aliganj and Jankipuram whose bills have reached ₹75000 to ₹1 lakh.

“Some of these customers have not cleared their dues for the last 5 years. Now, Green Gas will serve such consumers a notice. We will also organise a camp for them to clear their dues. If the dues aren’t settled still, the company will serve a final notice and then disconnect gas supply to their homes,” chief manager (sales), GGL, SP Gupta said.

“When the company gave connections to the residents, the company never thought that despite reminders, bills would remain unpaid for years. The company thought that the customers would deposit the bill which is much lesser than LPG,” Gupta said.
