The Ariyalur district administration has initiated steps to cancel the licence of a LPG distributor here after the delivery boys were found collecting excess amount from consumers and committing other irregularities, according to District Collector T Abraham.
In a press release here today, he said two delivery boys of Anupa Gas Agency were found distributing LPG cylinders behind the police quarters at Keezha Pazhur village on Saturday.
When the District Supplies Officer made enquiries with consumers they said cyclinders were not being supplied in their houses and instead were asked to collect it at a common point. The consumers had told the officer that they were being forced to pay Rs 340 for a cylinder and purchase a biscuit packet at Rs 5.
The bills found with the delivery boys did not have the number, date or the name of the consumer. Criminal action has been initiated against the agency for irregularities under the Consumer Protection Act. Steps were being taken to cancel the licence of the distributor,
Dravidar Kazhagam Demanding Action against self-styled fake ‘godmen,’

Members of the Dravidar Kazhagam (DK), founded by rationalist leader Periyar E V Ramasamy, today organised a protest demonstration, demanding action against self-styled fake ‘godmen,’ who take gullible people for a ride.
Led by DK President K Veeramani, the agitators urged the Centre and state governments to initiate criminal action against such ‘godmen,’ who cheat the public in the name of spirituality.
Mr Veeramani said the government, besides initiating criminal action, should also confiscate their properties.
The Income Tax Department should also raid the ‘godmens’ ashrams and other premises, trace their sources of income and bring them under the tax net.
Senior leader Suba Veerapandian, addressing the agitators, said ”godmen” who were supposed to be leading a simple life, giving up all comforts, were, instead, enjoying a luxurious life.
The DK activists organised the agitation in the wake of the electronic media’s exposURE of the sleazy acts, allegedly involving self-styled ‘godman’ Swami Nityananda with a popular Tamil actress, a few days back.
