Cooking gas cylinders that are rampantly used at roadside food joints are now going to land the cylinder suppliers in trouble, along with the food vendor. The first FIR in this regard was filed in Borivli two days ago.

The order came after repeated raids by the BMC failed to stop the illegal usage of cylinders on footpaths, posing a serious threat of fire and related mishaps. BMC commissioner Ajoy Mehta has instructed ward officers to track the suppliers to address this issue.
