Maharashtra govt sets up control rooms, district panels to track LPG situation

MUMBAI: (Mar 13) The Maharashtra government said it has set up control rooms and district-level committees to ensure uninterrupted supply of LPG amid the West Asia crisis, asserting that there is no shortage of the fuel for domestic consumers.

An official release issued on Thursday said Anil Diggikar, Additional Chief Secretary of the Food, Civil Supplies and Consumer Protection Department, has directed authorities to take necessary steps to maintain smooth supply and closely monitor LPG distribution across the state.

The department said there is no shortage of domestic LPG in Maharashtra and citizens need not panic, claiming that the availability of domestic cylinders in March is higher than the supply recorded during the last six months.
