Chandigarh: Long queues outside the offices or retail outlets of LPG agencies across the state notwithstanding, Haryana chief minister Nayab Singh Saini on Friday reiterated that the state has sufficient supplies and arrangements.“Rumours being spread about disruption in the supply of domestic LPG gas, petrol and diesel due to war-like situations in the Middle East are completely baseless. Supply of domestic LPG, petrol and diesel in Haryana is completely normal and continuing without interruption,” said Saini.Notably, Saini chaired a meeting with senior officers of the Food, Civil Supplies and Consumer Affairs Department and representatives of oil companies to review the availability of fuel and gas in the state. During the meeting, representatives of the oil companies assured the chief minister that sufficient stock of petrol, diesel and LPG was available in the state, and the supply of gas was continuously being received. The chief minister said that arrangements were made to give priority to hospitals, educational institutions and other essential services in the supply of commercial gas cylinders. Apart from this, oil companies are continuously making efforts to keep the remaining supply fully smooth so that common consumers do not face any inconvenience.The chief minister gave clear directions to all Deputy Commissioners and Superintendents of Police in the state that strict action should be taken immediately upon receiving any complaint of theft, black marketing or hoarding. Appealing to the people of the state, he said that they should not believe any kind of rumours and should avoid unnecessary panic or extra storage of fuel and gas. The chief minister said that the state govt is vigilant and is committed to ensuring uninterrupted supply of domestic gas to every household. MSID: 129558211 413 |
