No shortage of diesel, petrol, cooking gas in UP: Yogi Adityanath says "avoid rumours"

UP CM Yogi Adityanath assures ample fuel and cooking gas supply, directs strict action against hoarding and urges public to avoid rumours.

"There is no shortage of diesel-petrol in Uttar Pradesh. Avoid rumours related to shortage of cooking gas. - Yogi Adityanath"

Lucknow, March 13

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath held a meeting with officials regarding the state's gas supply situation and assured that there was no shortage of diesel, petrol, and cooking gas in the state, urging people to avoid rumours.

The meeting reviewed the availability of gas cylinders and essential food items across the state.

Officials informed the Chief Minister that there was no shortage of gas in the state and that the supply system was operating smoothly.

The Chief Minister directed that the supply system be continuously monitored to ensure that the general public is not inconvenienced.

In a post on X, CM Yogi Adityanath said, "There is no shortage of diesel-petrol in Uttar Pradesh. Avoid rumours related to shortage of cooking gas."

"If any distributor agency or private individual is found involved in black marketing or hoarding, an FIR will be immediately registered against them, and the strictest action will be ensured," he said.

The Chief Minister said the government is committed to ensuring the convenience and fulfilment of the needs of the common man in every situation. He directed everyone not to let panic spread and ensure timely distribution.

He further encourages the use of alternative fuels by communicating with hostels, hospitals, dharamshalas, hotels, and various commercial establishments.

The Chief Minister also directed the Food and Logistics Department to set up control rooms and monitor every district 24x7.

"Police personnel will be deployed at LPG distribution centres and will assist in maintaining order," the UP CMO stated.

Earlier, Union Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister Hardeep Singh Puri also assured in the Parliament that India's energy supplies remain secure despite major global disruptions caused by the ongoing conflict in West Asia and subsequent closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

In a post on X, the minister said, "There is no shortage of petrol, diesel, kerosene, aviation turbine fuel or fuel oil. Retail outlets across the country are stocked, and supply chains are functioning normally."

He also added that this is not a moment for rumour-mongering or fake narratives as the country is navigating the most severe global energy disruption.

"This is not the moment for rumour-mongering or fake narratives. India is navigating the most severe global energy disruption in recorded history. Crude supply is flowing. Gas is prioritised for homes and farms. LPG production has been stepped up by 28%," he added.

While the assurances are welcome, actions speak louder than tweets. In my area of Noida, there were long queues at the petrol pump just two days ago due to rumours. The government needs to actively counter misinformation on the ground, not just on X.

The directive to use alternative fuels is a smart, long-term move. 🇮🇳 With global uncertainty, we must reduce dependency. Hope hotels and hospitals take this seriously. Jai Hind!

FIR against black marketing is a strong step. These hoarders create artificial scarcity and trouble for common people. Strict action is the only language they understand.

The 24x7 control room is a good idea. But will the helpline number be widely publicized? Often, these systems are created but the public doesn't know how to use them. Transparency is key.

As a homemaker, cooking gas is an absolute essential. Glad to see both state and central ministers are on the same page giving assurances. Let's be responsible and not spread forwards from WhatsApp!
