RR NUMBER THROWS UP NEW PROBLEM

The State government had made it mandatory for domestic LPG customers to submit the RR numbers of electricity bills and ration cards in a bid to trace illegal connections. But, this has landed many Central government employees
living in quarters in trouble.


At the DRDO complex, for example, there are nearly 2,000 residential quarters and only two RR numbers. The residents of the complex were in for a shock recently when they applied for refills and were told that the LPG connections had been suspended.

Alternative arrangements
The food and civil supply department has now come out with alternative arrangements for Central and State government- owned residential complexes, which have just one or two electricity RR numbers.
“We recently decided to provide LPG connections in bulk to such central
government buildings which have only one or two RR numbers. We will list such connections as quarters. Our inspectors will have information about the status of LPG connections in bulk given to one or two RR numbers,” said an officer of the department.
Earlier, when some of the DRDO officers enquired with officials of the food and civil supplies department the reason for the suspension of their connections, they were told the LPG connections could not be given
in bulk for one RR number. Since then, the residents had been running from pillar to post to sort out their problem.


An officer in the DRDO said most of the officials and employees of the Central
government had transferable jobs and they may not be having ration cards or separate houses.


Separate numbers “We live in government quarters and we are mainly dependent on RR numbers given to us by our officers. We cannot create a
separate RR number for us,” said the officer.
