Representatives of oil companies present at the meeting confirmed that petrol and diesel stocks are adequate, with reserves sufficient for up to 15 days, and replenishment is continuing smoothly. Addressing concerns over pending KYC for domestic gas connections, the director directed oil companies to ensure that no consumer is denied LPG supply due to incomplete documentation. She emphasised completing the KYC process in camp mode to avoid inconvenience. Additionally, gas agencies were instructed to notify local authorities in advance about delivery schedules to ensure wider dissemination of information.
