Srinagar, Oct 30: The Kashmir-based gas agencies Wednesday demanded further extension of time for completing the verification of LPG connections, saying it won’t be possible for them to complete the verification up to November 15.
 The gas distributors appealed Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah, to intervene in the matter and impress upon the oil companies to extend the time for completing verification of consumers provided under the new LPG regime.
 “We are still getting large number of consumers seeking verification of their domestic gas connections,” the gas dealers said.
 They said it was very difficult to complete the verification in the “shortest period we were given by the gas agencies.”
 “We appeal the Chief Minister to intervene in the matter to provide relief to the people,” they said.
 Proprietor, Sona Tradeways, Nazir Ahmad Mir said given the huge rush of the consumers they have speeded up the process of verification and supply of gas.
 “We are trying our best to ensure smooth and regular domestic gas supply to consumers at distribution points at Karan Nagar, Bemina and Beerwa,” Mir said.
 Mir said the agencies have hired more staff to ensure the verification is done smoothly.
