New Delhi : India’s oil marketing companies will improve their grievance redressal systems by Oct 2 and commission toll-free numbers for filing complaints, it was decided Tuesday at the review meeting called by Petroleum Secretary R.S. Pandey.
The meeting, a follow-up of the one chaired by Petroleum Minister Murli Deora Aug 19, was attended by IndianOil Corporation chairman Sarthak Behuria, petroleum ministry additional secretary S. Sundareshan, and the marketing directors and senior officers of the ministry.
The grievance redressal systems would be made more effective, with each oil marketing company having a separate toll free number. An awareness campaign about the revamped mechanism would also be launched, the meeting decided.
On the supply position of petroleum products, the ministry said the waiting list for liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) connections had been reduced by half from 800,000 to 390,000 within a month.
Pandey asked the oil marketing companies to maintain LPG stocks for the festival season in the coming months.
