This is reassuring. Last month there were some delays in our area of Surat, but things seem smoother now. The government should actively counter these rumours on social media where they spread fastest.

While the report is positive, I hope the monitoring by police and revenue staff is genuine and not just for show. In the past, some agencies created artificial scarcity to charge extra. Strict action is needed if any malpractices are found.

The digital booking options are a game-changer. Booking via a missed call is so easy for my parents who aren't tech-savvy. Efficient systems like this prevent panic.

Timely LPG delivery is crucial for every household. Glad to know the buffer stock is being increased. This proactive approach is much better than firefighting a crisis later. 👍

Hope this is the reality in remote villages too, not just in towns. Sometimes services are great in cities but people in rural areas face issues. The report from Kalsar village is a good sign.
