Similar monitoring committees have also been constituted at the circle level, headed by the respective ADCs and OCs of the police stations and food and civil supplies officials as members.
The district administration stated that these committees will monitor supply and distribution of LPG cylinders and petroleum products in their respective jurisdictions to ensure there is no disruption or malpractice.
The formation of these monitoring committees follows recent advisories issued by the district administration, urging the public not to indulge in panic booking or overstocking of LPG cylinders, while assuring that adequate supply is being maintained in the district. (DIPRO)
