Firms to use bar-coded stickers on gas cylinders
New Delhi   25-Mar-2009
Tiruchlrappalli: Gas companies will soon introduce bar code stickers on gas cylinders to prevent misuse of domestic gas throughout the country, an IndianOil official said. He said a survey by the company found that about 25-30% domestic gas was being used for other purposes. IndianOil wants to bring it below 5%. Under this system, the consumer number of each customer would be printed on the sticker. This would help officials to check if the cylinders had been used by the customer himself or been misused. The system would be introduced on a trial basis in Madurai, Chennai, Tiruchirapalli and Tirunelvell, he said.
