The largest supplier of domestic LPG in Bengal has asked distributors to accept manual refill bookings to mitigate the crisis. But the 25-day gap between two bookings must be adhered to.”Industry sources said manual bookings had stopped around a decade ago. Manual bookings will be accepted from Friday, Ramkrishna Chakraborty, secretary of the Indane LPG Distributors’ Association, said, confirming having received the Indian Oil communication. Starting Friday, our counter staff will accept manual bookings. But unless the servers are up and running, even manual bookings won’t ensure the delivery of cylinders, distributors said.
