In a significant announcement aimed at reassuring residents, Kodagu Deputy Commissioner SJ Somashekar has categorically stated that there is adequate stock of domestic LPG cylinders available across the district. The official press release, issued on Monday, emphasized that there is no disruption whatsoever in the supply chain for cooking gas cylinders.
District Commissioner Urges Public to Disregard Social Media Speculation
Somashekar specifically addressed the circulation of unfounded rumors on social media platforms, urging customers not to pay heed to such misinformation. He advised consumers to book only the required quantity of cylinders and assured them that they can obtain their LPG supplies without any worries or unnecessary panic.
The Deputy Commissioner revealed that consultations have been held with all LPG distributors operating within Kodagu district to ensure seamless supply operations. These discussions were aimed at guaranteeing that cooking gas reaches households without any hassles during this period.
Strict Instructions Issued to LPG Distributors
According to the official statement, strict instructions have been given to all LPG distributors in the district regarding maintaining normal supply operations. The administration has confirmed that adequate stock and supply of domestic gas cylinders is available, and distributors will continue their usual practice of delivering cylinders directly to customers' doorsteps.
Helpline Established for Consumer Grievances
To address any potential issues in LPG cylinder distribution for domestic use, the district administration has opened a dedicated helpline at the office of the deputy director, food, civil supplies and consumer affairs department. Consumers facing difficulties can contact the Kodagu district office directly at phone number 9845706980 for prompt resolution of their concerns.
Legal Action Warning Against Illegal Activities
The Deputy Commissioner issued a stern warning regarding unauthorized storage or illegal sale of gas cylinders. Somashekar clarified that any such activities discovered will face immediate legal action under the Essential Commodities Act of 1955. This legislation provides authorities with significant powers to regulate and control the distribution of essential commodities like LPG cylinders.
The administration's comprehensive approach includes regular monitoring of distribution networks, coordination with all stakeholders, and proactive measures to prevent supply chain disruptions. Residents are encouraged to rely only on official communications from district authorities rather than social media speculation regarding essential commodity supplies.
