Srinagar, Mar 11: Assuring residents of stable fuel availability in the Kashmir Division, Divisional Commissioner Anshul Garg on Wednesday said there is no immediate cause for concern over LPG, petrol, or diesel supplies.<\/p>\n
Addressing the media at his office in Srinagar, the Div Com said that the region currently holds around 13 days of LPG stock and more than 15 days of petrol and diesel reserves.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have a storage capacity of 15 to 20 days at maximum levels and the position of LPG is quite comfortable,\u201d he said, as reported by the news agency\u2014Kashmir News Observer (KNO).<\/p>\n
Garg said the Department of Food, Health and Civil Supplies, along with daily monitoring from the divisional control room, keeps a close watch on essential supply chains.<\/p>\n
He appealed to the public to rely solely on official updates, cautioning against panic buying and misinformation. \u201cThe Government of India and the Government of J&K are closely monitoring the situation. Any official decisions will be communicated promptly,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The Divisional Commissioner also addressed concerns about commercial restrictions on LPG, clarifying that these do not affect domestic consumers, hospitals, or educational institutions. He warned of strict action against hoarding and black marketing. \u201cDeputy Commissioners have constituted squads and our district control rooms are ready to take immediate action against violators,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
On essential commodities beyond fuel, Garg said the market remains stable. With the holy month of Ramadan ongoing and Eid approaching, district-level committees have ramped up inspections and monitoring to ensure smooth supply and price regulation during the festive season. \u201cMarket inspections for food quality and price control have increased in the last 15\u201320 days and more are planned in the coming week,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The Div Com appealed to the media and public to ensure the dissemination of accurate information and avoid spreading panic or fake news. (KNO)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
