Indane — Fire explosion in Kitchen due to Gas leakage (broken O ring in new cylinder)

Address: Maharashtra

Yesterday, on 4th Aug 2011 morning 7.15 am in the morning, there was a Fire explosion in Kitchen due to Gas leakage (broken O ring in new cylinder). My wife was shouted loudly. I saw a fire explosion near to Gas cylinder near regulator. The new cylinder was connected just on 3rd Aug 2011 day.
I shocked and try to stop the fire by closing the stove off. Still the fire was not stopping. So my wife has put her hand in burning flame and off the regulator knob. And immediately we opened all windows and doors in house and disconnected that cylinder from regulator.
Immediately tried to call Local Gas agency (Urja Indaine) but it was morning time. So nobody was picked my call. Anyhow I got one number for Urja Indaine. Mrs Sujata([protected]) has picked the call and told the incident to her. She asked to contact their technician Mr Ramesh. Technician came to my house around 11.30 am and started investigation.
He said there is a O-ring broken in the cylinder because of which gas was leaking and fire explosion was happened.
Technician has provided me an investigation report along with the broken ring, which was inside the cylinder. The time was good because of which we saved a big incident.
Now, I want to give compliant against the Indane Cylinder filling authority.
