Gurgaon Authorities Uncover Illegal LPG Cylinder Stockpile in Sector 66 Raid
A coordinated operation by the Food and Supply Department and CM Flying squad has led to the seizure of 13 filled domestic LPG cylinders from a suspicious warehouse in Gurgaon. The raid targeted a tin shed structure located near Shani Mandir, adjacent to Kushalasad Mandir in the Badshahpur area of Sector 66.
Illegal Storage and Potential Misuse Uncovered
During the inspection, officials discovered Indane domestic cylinders stored under highly questionable conditions. A preliminary inquiry swiftly indicated that the cylinders were being illegally stockpiled, raising significant concerns about potential misuse for unauthorized purposes.
"The preliminary investigation also revealed that the cylinders were being illegally stockpiled, raising concerns about their misuse," stated an official involved in the operation.
The individual present at the site during the raid failed to produce any valid documentation related to the storage, usage, or legal ownership of the cylinders. This lack of proper paperwork prompted officials to take immediate action, confiscating the cylinders and initiating further legal proceedings.
Ongoing Surveillance and Future Actions
Authorities have emphasized that strict surveillance measures are being actively maintained to curb such illegal storage activities. They have vowed that similar enforcement actions will continue in the future to deter black marketing and unauthorized hoarding of LPG cylinders.
A formal complaint has been lodged with the local police, and a thorough investigation is currently underway to determine the full extent of the operation and identify all individuals involved.
Broader Crackdown on LPG-Related Offenses
This raid is part of a larger, intensified campaign by the department, which has conducted multiple such operations over the past month. The focus remains on checking black marketing and preventing the unauthorized storage of LPG cylinders, which pose serious safety and regulatory risks.
To facilitate public reporting, the administration has established a dedicated control room. Citizens can report incidents of black marketing or other LPG-related issues by contacting 0124-2868930.
"Every complaint received at the control room is being resolved on a priority basis," assured the official, highlighting the administration's commitment to addressing these concerns promptly.
