Bihar LPG Crisis News: Satya Gas Agency operator Sonal Kumar says that VIPs send their requests directly to the Sub-Divisional Officer (SDO) and other officials. Read the full story in detail.

Amidst the chaos surrounding LPG cylinders, shocking news has emerged from the capital, Patna. While the Patna District Magistrate is making lofty claims, numerous problems are emerging. The operator of a gas agency in Gardanabad, Patna, has made a serious allegation, and the matter has become linked to Home Minister Samrat Chaudhary.

Satya Gas Agency operator Sonal Kumar said, "Yesterday (Wednesday), the SDO came to us to collect cylinders from Deputy CM Samrat Chaudhary's place... He demanded 15 cylinders. We said, 'Take the keys to my warehouse... If you can find one, take it.' Four full cylinders were lying around, which he took. Today, we don't have gas." This statement from the gas agency operator is from last Thursday. It should be noted that last Thursday, all the NDA MLAs had a meeting at Samrat Chaudhary's place.

The media further asked Sonal Kumar if they took the car without a number plate. He replied, "They are VIPs. What can we do about it? They send it directly to the Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDO) and other officials."

'Server down... crashed, problem with KYC'

On the other hand, Sonal Kumar said that the main reason for the number not being connected is that the server is down. The server is malfunctioning. It has crashed. We have received instructions from the petroleum company to first complete the customer's KYC. Gas will be released only after the DAC number is received. He added that there are also difficulties in completing the KYC. The main reason for the crowd in the office is that the server crashes immediately after a KYC is completed.

Sonal said that the biggest problem is that bookings are not being made, and people are booking in panic. It's ingrained in their minds that gas won't be available. When asked about the DM's claim that gas is available, Sonal said, "I don't have gas. Let those who want to speak speak. Let those who want to speak speak. If I don't have it, where will I give it from?"
