Srinagar, Mar 11: The Jammu and Kashmir adminstration on Wednesday said there is adequate stock of fuel including LPG in the valley.
“Our stock position on essential supplies for high speed diesel, motor spirit and LPG is comfortable. LPG supply is stocked for 13 days. At maximum supply also, we maintain supply for about 15 to 20 days,” Kashmir Divisional Commissioner Anshul Garg told reporters here.
He said there is no need for panic as the government is closely monitoring stocks of all three fuels. “Our control room as well as the food and civil supplies department is monitoring this daily. We are comfortably placed in terms of stocks,” he said.
Garg said with minimal disruption on Jammu-Srinagar national highway, there is no need to worry.
“I would like to appeal to the public to solely rely on official updates for supply position. There is no need for panic buying. Government of India and Government of Jammu and Kashmir are keeping close watch on this situation. If any decision needs to be taken, it will be communicated by the government,” he added.
He said there was a restriction issued by the Centre for commercial LPG but it was not applicable to domestic consumers, hospitals and educational institutions.
“If any violation is noticed, deputy commissioners will take remedial measures so that the public does not face any inconvenience for any essential service,” he added.
