There is no shortage of LPG in Andhra Pradesh, as confirmed by state Minister for Food and Civil Supplies Nadendla Manohar. He emphasized that there are ample gas reserves to meet both domestic and commercial needs, ensuring no current supply issues. Manohar instructed district officials to prevent illegal diversion of LPG to the black market during this critical period.
In response to concerns arising from the ongoing war in the Middle East, Manohar conducted a review of gas supply in the state via a teleconference with top officials. He specifically inquired about the available gas reserves for the state, highlighting proactive measures being taken to maintain uninterrupted gas supply for domestic requirements. Monitoring of gas supply from various sources like HPC Visakhapatnam Refinery and others is being done regularly.
The minister assured that if there are any shortages in daily gas needs, the government will implement alternative arrangements promptly to avoid any inconvenience to the people of the state. Stressing the importance of vigilance, he directed officials to prevent black market activities and warned against spreading rumors or unjustified price hikes. Manohar emphasized the need for continuous monitoring of the supply chain at the district level and quick rectification of any supply gaps.
Highlighting that the ongoing war has not impacted the state’s gas supply situation, Manohar mentioned that the Central government is also actively monitoring the scenario to ensure a steady gas supply. He urged people not to be alarmed by misinformation circulating on social media platforms.
