Trichy District Administration Conducts Comprehensive Review of LPG Stock Status
In a significant move to ensure the smooth supply of essential cooking fuel, the Trichy district collector convened a crucial review meeting on Saturday. The gathering brought together officials from public sector oil companies and various government departments to thoroughly discuss the current status of LPG stocks within the district.
Strict Warnings Against Private Refilling and Hoarding
The district administration issued a clear and firm directive to the public, emphasizing that refilling cooking gas cylinders at private gas filling stations is strictly prohibited. This practice not only violates government regulations but also carries a high risk of accidents due to potential safety standard lapses.
Furthermore, the administration explicitly banned the hoarding of cooking gas cylinders or their sale in the black market. "Any violation of these rules will result in legal action being taken in accordance with government regulations," stated an official release from the district administration.
Official Channels for Complaints and Inquiries
To address public concerns and ensure compliance, the administration provided specific contact details for reporting violations:
- Complaints regarding illegal refilling or black market activities can be reported to the Civil Supplies Criminal Investigation Department (CSCID), Trichy unit, at the following office numbers:
- 9443461010
- 9498190651
- 9498158550
Additionally, for any complaints or inquiries related to gas supply, the public is encouraged to contact the control room at the district collector's office via telephone number 0431-2411474 during office hours.
Reassurance Amid Social Media Rumors
The administration sought to allay public fears by addressing circulating reports on social media about a potential shortage of gas cylinders. The official release urged citizens "not to panic" over such unverified claims, reinforcing that the review meeting was part of proactive measures to maintain adequate LPG supply across Trichy district.
This coordinated effort between the district administration, oil companies, and government departments underscores a commitment to public safety and regulatory compliance in essential commodity distribution.
