Gas Connection, Refilling Complaint – Bangalore!

The Gas Suppliers Of Bangalore are Irresponsible (Always towards the Common Man!), Biased (Always ‘For’ Those Who Pay ‘SOMETHING’ which can amount to anything in the Universe!), Illogical (Every Moment They Interact With The Common Man!), Unaccountable ( Because, They Can Have The Luxury of Unaccountability  24/7, as there is NO ACCOUNTABILITY CHECKS, EVER!),  Rash (As They Are The Kings Of Their Gasdom - Gas+Kingdom!) etc!

The Minister of Civil Supplies & Energy (Karnataka) had deleted some 2 lakhs of gas connections by the end of October, 2011, stating the non submission of the documents of proof, which she required to VERIFY the authenticity of the GAS CONSUMERS! The intention behind the VERIFICATION was good as what she wanted was to root out the ILL QUALIFIED GAS CONNECTIONS that she could save lakhs of rupees every month! But, what she didn’t understand was that when given an opportunity the Gas Suppliers (Who Can Be Rightly Considered As Sakuni Of Mahabaratha!) will MAKE THE MAXIMUM OUT OF IT; and, there will be nobody stopping them doing so at the expense of the genuine customers! And, that is exactly what happened; they rooted out the customers pretending they were the messiahs who STAND FOR THEM! 

When a large number of Genuine Customers got their gas connections disconnected due to the SO CALLED NON SUBMISSION OF THE DOCUMENTS WHICH WERE ASKED TO BE SUBMITTED, WHAT THEY DIDN’T KNOW (Including the well intended Minister) WAS THAT A HUGE NUMBER OF THE SUBMITTED DOCUMENTS WERE MISHANDLED & A LARGE NUMBER OF THEM WERE NEVER SENT TO THE VERIFYING DEPARTMENTS, BY THE WILY GAS AGENCIES, WHICH WERE ANOINTED AS THE DOCUMENT COLLECTING CENTRES! And, due to this WHOLESOMELY IRRESPONSIBLE & UTTERLY CONTEMPTUOUS ACT OF THE GAS AGENCIES, THOUSANDS ARE DENIED THEIR LEGITIMATE REFILLING, IN THE NAME OF ‘NON SUBMISSION’! 

Nobody, including the minister, seems to be aware of this cheating by the wily gas agencies! And, it is another fact that no one can be certain of the VERIFYING PROCESS which is supposed to have taken place in SOME VERIFICATION CENTRES, as THE IRRESPONSIBLITY FACTOR plays a major role in all the departments of the existing machinery, as NOBODY IS EVER HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE OMISSIONS, CARELESSNESS, BLUNDERS etc committed @ the expense of The Common Man! 

In all the cases, the person or in the other words The Common Man suffers for the stupidities committed by the Non Common Man & the rectification of things is something that seldom happens! The person or the persons who are the perpetrators will never be held accountable & the Sun rises again the next morning!
 
In my personal case, we got our gas refilled in the month of November 2011, well after the verification process was over, when we booked the refilled cylinder on November 9, 2011, via IV – enough proof  that the verification process of Our Submitted Documents IS OVER & WE ARE ENTITLED TO HAVE THE REFILLED CYLINDERS! But, when we tried to book again, after a duration of more than 4 months, we found out to our utter disgust that OUR ‘8’ YEAR OLD GAS CONNECTION STOOD DISCONNECTED due to some stupid people somewhere along the organisational line & NOBODY IS RESPONSIBLE! Neither the Wily Gas Agency –Sri Rama (Gas) Agency in our case! – nor any body else is taking responsibility for THE GROSS INJUSTICE DONE & no official or the minister is around to solve the issue! It is shocking to know that all this sort of GAS HUMBUG is happening while the refilled gas cylinders –filled by ‘the Greased Palms’ of the Wily Gas Agencies!- fly right & left of one’s existence (Common Man’s Existence!), night & day! It is shocking to know that due to the much irresponsible & non accountable people in various positions of the machinery ONE FINE MORNING THE GAS CONNECTION WHICH WE HAVE BEEN USING FOR THE LAST ‘8’ LONG YEARS STOOD DISCONNECTED! And, we are sure, WE ARE NOT ALONE!

The Article Posted On This Incident On 16-03-12, the very day it all happened, can be read @ www.viewcrackers.blogspot.com! I reproduce a small part of it below! 

HIS GAS MAGESTY'S PROOFS AND THE PROOFLESS BOXES OF HIS GASDOM!
Only when the Food & Civil Supplies minister of Karnataka announced – In the Month of September or October 2011!- over the media that the verification of all the documents submitted by the GAS OWNERS  –THE GAS COMMON MEN!- was done, the wily gas distributers all over the state restarted to give the supplies to the Gas Common Man again! Our document submission was done, either in the month of July or August as per the news paper announced requirements, to OUR GAS AGENCY –Which Is ‘Sri Rama (Gas) Agency’, all these last 7 Years!- which put PROOFLESS CARD BOARD BOXES infront of the gas agency's veranda in those Document Collection Days of 2011, to collect the Required Documents Prooflessly from the Gas Common Man!

When, at the time of submission of the so called required documents, -In the month of July or August, 2011- we asked for the bill stating the reception of the documents, the stingy looking lady at the counter –There were more than a couple of miserly looking ladies @ the counter, then!- made faces & just waved & said "Just Put Them In The Proofless Cardboard Boxes arranged in the veranda!”, that they could MAKE ALL THE PROOFS OF SUBMISSION VANISH whenever they wanted to do it! She was saying it as if she were talking to some street urchins who came infront of her BEGGING FOR SOME OF HER FAMILY HELD GAS! When we repeated our request for the PROOF again she made faces & started to talk to the other STREET URCHINS WHO CAME THERE ASKING FOR HER FAMILY HELD GAS!

COMPLAINTS AGAINST SERVICE PROVIDERS

Below a very small number of GREAT SERVICES provided by the GREAT SERVICE PROVIDERS are listed, collected from the aggrieved customers’ postings from ‘Orkut’! Let’s try to do something about this sort of CONTINUOUS CHEATING!

COMPLAINTS AGAINST SERVICE PROVIDERS
Complaint against AIRCEL
*********************
It is perfect injustice that some mobile companies in Kerala especially AIRCEL,AIRTEL and

IDEA, take additional charge for the "call to customer service " and for the "caller tunes "

they provide without our consent. We will lose Rs 30 at least for setting this caller tune,

and is without our knowledge.

Complaint Against Airtel.....These Cheaters!!
Complaint Against Airtel.....These Cheaters!!
**********************************
08-06-10, 18:36:57 message came mentioning the subscription to Hello Tunes service! (Sadly for me, I never asked for one!!!)
Rs 30/- deducted from my account!
543211808-message sent to cancel the tune etc
*************************************
At 8.10pm called customer executive Shalini over my Airtel mobile; she told Airtel will contact within 11/06/10; 50ps reduced for 3 minutes complaint registration!!!
0609371860 - request reference number - message dated 09-06-10, 19:46:34
*************************************
15-06-10 - went to an Airtel outlet near to my house and made the compaint over the airtel phone there- time spent there from 7.45 - 8.05pm!
I also got a message stating about my complaint, again!
Over the phone the executive told me that my request made on 09-06-10 is on & assured me that I should get a call within 24 hours, which never happened till now "12.24pm, 25-07-10!" I, TILL NOW, HAVE NOT GOT ANY REFUND!
He also told me that I should not go again to any of the Airtel centres, carrying this complaint!

"SOMEONE SHOULD STOP THESE CHEATERS!"

COMPLAINT AGAINST RELIANCE .....AGAIN!!
COMPLAINT AGAINST RELIANCE .....AGAIN!!
**********************************
I made a call from my Reliance landline, from 9.30pm-9.42pm yesterday (24-07-10, Saturday), to Reliance (*333) to give the intimation that My Land Line is installed with a caller tune, without my consent & knowledge, which I came to know only yesterday (24-07-10, Saturday).

The executive said that it was activated from my side on 16-07-10, Friday & he had proof for that! He asked me if I wished to de-activate the caller tune to which I told that as I had not activated it I was not going to give a request for de-activation & I had made the call ONLY to intimate that "A CALLER TUNE IS ACTIVATED ON MY LANDLINE WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE & I AM GOING TO SUE RELIANCE IF I AM CHARGED FOR WHAT I HAVE NOT DONE!"

The fact is that from 15th evening (I boarded the bus to Kerala on 15th Thursday, just after 10.45pm with my wife, from (near) the Madiwala Police Station, Bangalore!) to yesterday morning (24-07-10, Saturday) 8.15, I was not in my house! I returned
from Kerala only yesterday morning & the landline was switched on only after 8.15 yesterday (24-07-10, Saturday) morning! Then, how come I make a request for a caller tune from my Bangalore Reliance land line number, when I was not physically present there in Bangalore?!

BEWARE OF THE DISTANCE EDUCATION COURSES!

The Distant Education Field has been in total disarray all these years, all over India, where what has been happening is IRRESPONSIBLE, DEPLORABLE & WHOLESOME EXPLOITATION of the dreams of millions of ordinary students who want to be something in life by attaining something higher under the STUPID & ILLUSIORY DISTANT EDUCATION SYSTEM PROVIDED BY ALL THE FLEECING DISTANT EDUCATION CENTRES & UNIVERSITIES!

I provide below a copy of the things posted in an ‘ORKUT’ community that students/people of India can have a fair idea of the things happening in ‘the Universal Distant Education Programmes’ happening in India!

BEWARE OF THE DISTANCE EDUCATION COURSES!

BEWARE OF THE DISTANCE EDUCATION COURSES!
In our community, we are going to publish articles about the sure traps & pitfalls in the Distance Education Sector, where thousands have been sacrificing their lives all these years......!

Please, do make it a point to read the oncoming articles that one can save a thousand unsuspecting student from falling down into the traps set by the distance education centres & universities that they save enough money, time & effort and save others from the trap-nets set by the distance education centres..........!

Hence, Please Wait For The Articles That Thousands Can Be Saved From The Jaws Of These Scheming Distance Education Centres!
...........................................................................................................
IT IS EDUCATION MADE UNAPPROACHABLY DISTANT!
IN BANGALORE, the Distant Education Business Is Thriving & It Records More Than 100% Growth Every Year! What the so-called distant education centres do is SPOILING THE FUTURE OF THE STUDENTS, who by bad luck register in these scheming & sub-standard educational centres to earn a Degree or a Post Graduation Degree!

At the time of admission they all have a VERY FRIENDLY & SMILING FACE FIXED ON THEIR DEADLY & GHOST-LIKE FACES! But, when the admission or THE REMITTANCE OF FEE IS OVER, the false face drops & their UGLY & DECAYING FACE COMES TO THE FORE!

They announce classes for the distant education programmes, as they have taken money at the time of admission, & seldom inform students about the timings properly & timely. And, if somehow, one manages to know the class timings by calling the centre's office a million times or by other means, the so-called teacher seldom arrives on time and never takes classes as it should be taken; in other words, in most of the cases, the class is/means telling the stories of their college days, their adventures in those days, their love affairs, their own greatness and A LITTLE BIT OF THE SUBJECT or we should say WHAT THEY KNOW ( In Most of the Cases They Knew Very Little!) Most of the PROMISED TEACHERS NEVER APPEAR & MOST OF THE TOPICS WILL BE LEFT UNTAKEN! THIS SORT OF CHEATING & SPOILING THE STUDENT'S FUTURE & MORE IS DISTANT EDUCATION IN MOST OF THE DISTANT LEARNING CENTRES IN BANGALORE!

TO BE CONTINUED............................!
PART - II
SLN College Jayanagar (They have branches in a couple of places), Oceanik Education Society Malleswaram etc are some of the Distance Education Contact Centres, where the ONLY THINGS THEY DO IS

1) TIMELY FEE COLLECTION, 2) TIMELY ADDITIONAL FEE COLLECTION, 3) TIMELY LATE FEE COLLECTION,
4) TIMELY EXTRA FEE COLLECTION, 5) TIMELY FINE COLLECTION FOR NOTHING,
6) TIMELY RECIEPT-LESS MONEY COLLECTION FOR THE EXAMINERS & PRACTICAL EVALUATORS,
7) TIMELY RECIEPT-LESS MONEY COLLECTION FOR COPYING IN THE EXAM IN THE PRESENCE OF THE SO CALLED INVIGILATORS THESE INSTITUTIONS EMPLOY- In more cases than one we find INVIGILATORS WHO EVEN HAVENT PASSED THE +2 COURSE!

MY GOD IT IS NOT DISTANT EDUCATION.................................!
IT IS EDUCATION MADE UNAPPROACHABLY DISTANT.............................!!!

A LETTER ABOUT DISTANCE EDUCATION!
THIS IS A REPRODUCTION OF THE LETTER I RECIEVED.....! PLEASE, HAVE A FAIR UNDERSTANDING OF THE NATURE OF DISTANT EDUCATION PROVIDED!
THERE WILL, OFCOURSE, BE THOUSANDS OF SUCH UNPUBLISHED LETTERS IN THE MINDS OF THOUSANDS OF STUDENTS WHO GET CHEATED BY THE DISTANT EDUCATION CENTRES & THE UNIVERSITIES, WHICH PROVIDE TACIT SUPPORT & APPROVAL TO THEIR "REGISTERED SUBORDINATES" (READ DISTANT EDUCATION CONTACT CENTRES!)

The people in the Ulsoor Branch of SLN College, Jayanagar, Bangalore, registered/admitted me as a student there for the MSc Applied Chemistry course (2007-2009) of Kuvempu University, in 2007. At the time of admisssion, they told me that they would inform me about the starting of the class very soon. But, as the announcement never came even after months of waiting, I started to call them; they kept telling me that they would inform me. As usual, the call from them never came. Then, after another couple of months & a number of telephone calls from my side I got the information that on 21-03-08 the class would start, at 6.00 pm, in the Sree Samaj School, Chamarajpett!

TO BE CONTINUED...............................!
PART II 8/31/09
I went there at 6.00pm and the class started, after 6 pm. In the theory classes, they never took class for MSc Applied Chemistry, though there were 20 students there for 1st YEAR MSc. Applied Chemistry; what they took was the Topics of General Chemistry. Only one person ( Mr. Sreenivas, that was what he told his name was!) came there to take class & he didn't know anything about Applied Chemistry; he taught what he knew; and that was never Applied Chemistry! In the general class, where the students of MSc General Chemistry were their Only Target, Mr. Sreenivas, expansively talked about the great deeds he had done while he was in his college days! He SADLY TOLD that he was NOT PAID BY THE CONTACT CENTRE (SLN COLLEGE!) and SLYLY REFERRED TO THE ADDITIONAL MONEY the II year MSc students (Our Seniors) gave him FOR HIS EXTRA HELP in the subject, the previous year! HE TRUMPETED IT WAS HIS COMMITMENT & DEDICATION towards the students that fetched him there to take THE LABOURIOUS CLASSES HE TOOK! And, he lavishly recieved calls on his mobile and
talked to them elaboratively, while he was in the class. He always ANNOUNCED the class to begin at 6.00pm but never started on time. When I asked about OUR MSc Applied Chemistry Class (Physical Chemistry), He PROMISED A TEACHER WOULD COME & TEACH US APPLIED CHEMISTRY, from April 5th, 2008; but THAT TEACHER NEVER TURNED UP! This was the THEORY CLASS I got!

I give you the details of the THEORY CLASS SLN College People Conducted below:-

PART 4
After the last class on 04-04-08, I was told that I would be informed about the Applied Chemistry Class, which a supposed new teacher would take, and the Lab Class too would be informed. All these things never happened. And, on May 14th, while I was in Kerala, I recieved a call telling me that the PRACTICAL EXAMS WOULD START ON MAY 15th! Then, I called SLN & Sreenivas and complained they had not conducted practical classes & asked how could they announce the practical exams without conducting the Lab Classes & that too at such short notice. After a large number of telephone calls they asked me to come over to do the practical classes; I went to Sree Samaj School,
Chamarajpett & did my practical classes and did my Practical Exams at the end of those classes. I was the only student in the practical lab to do the practical and I was the only student in the lab to appear in the exams; I completed my practical exams excellently on June 1st 2008!

Then, it was the time for the Theory Exams; exams were scheduled on 29 & 31 of August 2008 and 02 & 04 September 2008. Most of the students who paid 150/- per paper were allowed to COPY UNINTERUPTED, though most of them were in unchartered territory as to what the right or the next right answers were! I didn't pay or copy; as I had reffered to/studied a lot of books & studied practically well, the exams were just fine for me and I finished the exams with confidence & great satisfaction. We even had an invigilator who had just joined for +1 commerce, whom I first met in Sree Samaj School, Chamarajpett, running errands for Sreenivas (Our Sir) & other persons! All those things were just a farce!

TO BE CONTINUED......................!
PART 5
Then, came the result time! The result was announced in the month of MARCH, 2009. In the web site my result was declared "WITHHELD" and no reasons were given. From then onwards I regularly contacted Ulsoor & Jayanagar SLN College, in turns, as Ulsoor Branch would ask to contact SLN Jayanagar & vice versa. They told me a lot of times, in response to my telephonic enquirees about MY WITHHELD RESULT" that MY EXAM PAPERS WERE EVALUATED & RE-EVALUATED and after all those things getting settled THEY WOULD INFORM ME ABOUT THE RESULT. By this time, all my trust towards them (SLN COLLEGE) had vanished completely and I kept calling them until 26-06-09! When the time of admissions for the 2nd year MSc Applied Chemistry arrived they regularly called me & asked me to join SLN College for the second year MSc Applied Chemistry; as I had had enough of those people ( SLN College/People), I told them I was NOT GOING TO JOIN THERE FOR THE SECOND YEAR. But, I kept calling them for MY RESULTS & THEY KEPT SAYING WHAT THEY HAD BEEN SAYING FROM THE MONTH OF THE PUBLISHING OF THE 1st YEAR RESULTS, that was in MARCH 2009!

TO BE CONTINUED...........................!
PART 6
Then, in JULY 2009, I mailed (Through Registered Post) to The Deputy Registrar Of Evaluations, Directorate Of Distance Education, Kuvempu University, Jnana Sahyadri, Shankaraghatta, Shimoga District, Karnataka-577451. & emailed to dde@kuvempu.ac.in ; info@kuvempuuniversitydde.org ; ssgc@kuvempuuniversitydde.org, voicing my problem & grief. I got the aknowledgment for the mail sent to the University Address. But, I didnt get any response to the email sent. Then, after a couple of weeks from me sending the emails & regular mail, all of a sudden one Mr.Suresh from Kuvempu University called me on 21-08-09, Friday at 3.27pm from 08282256426 and told me that MY RESULT HAD BEEN COLLECTED LONG BACK, IN ONE OF THOSE DAYS WHEN I HAD BEEN CALLING THE SLN PEOPLE REGULARLY TO GET MY RESULT, IN PERSON BY SLN COLLEGE, ON APRIL
21st, 2009 & I could get "MY FAILED MARK CARD/STATEMENT" FROM THEM (SLN COLLEGE) "NOW"!!! I WAS SHOCKED & PERTURBED TO THE INNER CORE DUE TO THIS RAW DEAL & CHEATING. Understanding the ILLICIT CONNECTION OF SOME IN THE KUVEMPU UNIVERSITY & THE SLN PEOPLE and THE TOTAL DISREGARD SHOWN IN THE MATTER OF STUDENTS' FUTURE was something that was so disturbing.

This has been the sort of treatment I have been getting from SLN College, Jayanagar, Bangalore, from the time I joined for MSc Applied Chemistry, Kuvempu University. Hence, I changed my Kuvempu University contact centre for the Final Year MSc Applied Chemistry to Oceanik Education Centre, Malleswaram, Bangalore.

(BUT THAT IS THE SAME STORY IN ANOTHER BOTTLE!) TO BE CONTINUED..!
