Gorakhpur: Chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday reassured the public that there is no need to stand in queues outside gas agencies to obtain LPG cylinders and advised them to book their cylinders at the scheduled time, after which they will be delivered to their homes.The CM also advised people not to resort to panic buying and buy petrol and diesel only when needed.He cautioned that some individuals are attempting to disrupt the state’s environment by spreading rumours and creating disorder. “…People should remain cautious and not fall prey to misinformation,” the CM said.Addressing the inauguration ceremony of the Software Technology Park in the Gorakhpur Industrial Development Authority (GIDA) area, Yogi said, “Earlier a household gas cylinder would last a month, but why are people now rushing to refill within five or six days?”He reiterated that bookings should be made as per schedule and deliveries will reach homes in due course. “The govt has issued instructions to all district administration officials to ensure that home delivery of gas cylinders continues smoothly, just as before,” he added. Referring to global tensions involving Iran, the US and Israel, Yogi said India remains stable, but a prolonged conflict could have wider impacts. He urged citizens to stay mentally prepared and act responsibly.The CM said, “Falling prey to rumours or misinformation in haste could raise doubts about one’s sense of national responsibility. Citizens must remain alert and place trust in national leadership, appreciating that the situation in India remains stable and positive.”He added, “Festivities are being celebrated with enthusiasm, including Navratri, and Ram Navami will be observed tomorrow, when at noon, the Sun is believed to symbolically perform the coronation of Lord Shri Ram at Ram Janmabhoomi.”Emphasising unity, he said rue patriotism lies in working together with the govt in times of national importance. Collective cooperation leads to better outcomes, and if any steps are taken in national interest, citizens should be prepared to support them. The district administrations have been directed to ensure uninterrupted supply of essential commodities, he added, appealing to people to maintain calm and continue celebrating festivals peacefully.
