Furthermore, he stated that the central government has assured the state administration that there will be no disruptions in fuel and LPG supply in the future.
To ensure transparency and effective monitoring, the Chief Secretary instructed oil and gas companies operating in the state to release daily district-wise data regarding the availability and distribution of petrol, diesel, and LPG.
