Appeals to avoid rumours; strict action against black marketing and hoarding
Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh —
Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini said that the 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. He said that the supply of domestic LPG, petrol and diesel in Haryana is completely normal and continuing without interruption.
In this regard, the Chief Minister held 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 is available in the state and the supply of gas is continuously being received.
The Chief Minister said that arrangements have been 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.
Saini has given 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 in any kind of rumours and should avoid unnecessary panic or extra storage of fuel and gas. The Chief Minister said that the state government is vigilant and is committed to ensuring uninterrupted supply of domestic gas to every household.
