    This is a good move began by the District Administration and Poluice & Food & Civil Supply Dept. All I would say is that " this is just the tip of the ice burg" please go to the roots of such practices at all the gas agencies and you will find many more such defaulters in and around Mangalore. It would be a good thing to keep strict vigilance on this issue, to curb malpractice. Unauthorised cylinders, unauthorised numerous users, usage of domestic gas cylinders for commercial purpose, all this is common. It is just that authorities had always closed their eyes on these things and people involved got away with it..!! It is time that authorities take up this issue sriously and put things in right path.
