This is just an indication of the value of human life in India.
Today morning our cooking gas cylinder ran out. We replaced the cylinder and the domestic help continued the cooking.
After she left, my wife complained of gas leakage. I took out the valve and tried to reconnect the cylinder.
In a particular position, it continued to leak gas audibly.
It was only a month ago that the gas supplier had checked the safety of the gas valve and replaced the tube (at a cost of course)
So, the problem must be with the new cylinder.
The emergency number for gas leakage was on Google. It was on the Indane Website:
I dialled the number on my mobile: first 1906, and then (011) 1906. The time: 13:08.
Tried a few more times in vain.
There was another number at the top:1800 233 3555. I tried that one too.
The response: You seemed to have dialled a wrong number.
The time: 13:06
It is a weekday, Thankfully somebody answered at the local Indane distributor's office and assured they would send some one. It is nearly 30 minutes now and I am still waiting.
Which means nobody is going to help on weekends.
The domestic help had not noticed the leak. Thank God (and God alone) that nothing happened while she was cooking.
