Telangana establishes multi-agency command control centre to monitor statewide LPG distribution

Telangana establishes a multi-agency command centre with real-time GPS tracking to monitor LPG distribution and prevent supply disruptions.

"ensuring an uninterrupted supply to domestic consumers and priority commercial sectors - Telangana Civil Supplies Department"

Hyderabad, March 14

In view of the ongoing global supply constraints of crude oil and LPG supply disruptions, the Telangana Civil Supplies Department has activated a 24/7 multiagency Command and Control Centre.

Launched on Saturday, this round-the-clock facility utilises real-time GPS tracking to monitor statewide gas distribution, ensuring an uninterrupted supply to domestic consumers and priority commercial sectors.

Functioning as the state's central hub for identifying and resolving supply bottlenecks, the new facility maintains strict oversight of the entire supply chain.

Commissioner of Civil Supplies M Stephen Raveendra, IPS and his team are coordinating continuously with district authorities to oversee transport logistics and verify daily stock availability at the grassroots level.

To guarantee total transparency, the government has directed all major Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) to grant state officials immediate access to their fleet GPS tracking systems.

Furthermore, representatives from Indian Oil (IOCL), Bharat Petroleum (BPCL), and Hindustan Petroleum (HPCL), police, industries, and distributor representatives are physically stationed at the Command Centre on a rotational basis to ensure seamless coordination and rapid response to any supply fluctuations.

In addition, the toll-free 1967 is co-located here, providing continuous, round-the-clock tracking of LPG transportation, stock levels, and district-wise distribution. OMCs are mandated to share real-time GPS tracking of all gas transport vehicles with state officials to prevent transit delays and diversion.

Field representatives from major oil companies will physically staff the centre alongside state officials for instant coordination, while centralised, daily coordination with district authorities empowers the state to immediately resolve localised shortages or supply chain hurdles.

Finally, some tech-driven governance! The 24/7 control centre with GPS tracking is a smart move. But the real test is at the distributor level. Will this stop the black marketing of cylinders? That's what we need to see.

Good step, but I'm a bit skeptical. We have seen many "command centres" launched with fanfare that become inactive after a few months. Hope this one has proper funding and political will to sustain itself. The involvement of IPS officers is promising though.

As a small restaurant owner, this is a relief. Commercial cylinders are our lifeline and any disruption hits business hard. Having all agencies under one roof for quick coordination is exactly what was needed. Hope it works on the ground!

Interesting to see such integrated crisis management. The co-location of the toll-free number with the tracking data is smart. Transparency is key in public distribution. If successful, this could be a blueprint for managing other essential commodities.

The proof will be in the delivery, literally! My mother in a village near Warangal often waits 10-12 days for a refill. If this command centre can ensure timely supply even in remote areas, it will be a true game-changer for rural households. 🤞
