Srinagar, March 23: Divisional Commissioner Kashmir Anshul Garg on Monday said there was no shortage of fuel or LPG in the Valley, claiming that adequate stocks are available and the situation is under close monitoring at multiple levels.
Talking to reporters in Srinagar, Garg said the domestic LPG supply across Kashmir is running smoothly, with an available stock position of around 10 to 15 days.
“The stock position is dynamic, but at present we have sufficient availability. Continuous monitoring is being carried out at both divisional and district levels to ensure there is no disruption,” he said.
The Div Com said supplies of petrol and diesel are also stable with oil marketing companies being closely monitored by district-level committees to prevent any irregularities such as hoarding, black marketing or overpricing.
“Control rooms at district and divisional levels are actively following up on supply and distribution. The Food and Civil Supplies Department is generating daily reports in a centralised format, which are being reviewed regularly to ensure the public does not face inconvenience,” he said.
On complaints regarding delays in LPG deliveries, Garg said such issues are being handled on a case-to-case basis by Deputy Commissioners and concerned departments. “Teams on the ground are actively resolving these complaints to ensure timely delivery”.
The Divisional Commissioner urged people to rely only on official communication and avoid panic.
“There is no need to believe in rumours or unverified information. The government is committed to keeping the public informed and ensuring uninterrupted supply,” he said.
On J&K students stranded in Iran, he said both the Government of India and the Union Territory administration are making sustained efforts to ensure their safe return.
He said dedicated helplines have been set up and continuous communication is being maintained with parents through control rooms. “We are sharing every update received from the Government of India with the families. The Chief Minister has also assured all possible support”.
