In response to the growing concerns and rumors surrounding a potential LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) shortage in West Bengal, the state government has issued a stern clarification to pacify the public. The administration has officially confirmed that the supply of cooking gas is absolutely normal and there is no deficit in the state’s inventory. The government has made a fervent appeal to consumers to stop “panic booking” and avoid hoarding extra cylinders at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Menace of Panic Booking:<\/strong> The current situation, described as a man-made shortage, has been triggered by baseless rumors. Fearing a shutdown in supply, many households have started booking second or third cylinders simultaneously. This surge in artificial demand has overwhelmed distributors, causing delays for those in genuine need. “Panic booking is creating a bottleneck. If people stop stockpiling, the delivery window will return to normal within 24 hours,” stated an official from the monitoring cell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Measures Against Hoarding and Overcharging:<\/strong> To ensure stability, the government has warned gas agencies against any form of hoarding or overcharging. A 24-hour dedicated control room is now functional at Nabanna to oversee the distribution process across all districts. Any distributor found manipulating the supply chain will face immediate legal action and cancellation of their dealership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Message to the Consumers:<\/strong> The administration has assured that oil marketing companies are operating at full capacity and there is no disruption at the bottling plants. Consumers are advised to rely only on official notifications and ignore social media hearsay. By maintaining a regular booking cycle, the public can help the authorities restore complete order in the distribution network. The government reiterated that the primary goal is to ensure that every kitchen continues to function without any interruption.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In response to the growing concerns and rumors surrounding a potential LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) shortage in West Bengal, the state government has issued a stern clarification to pacify the public.
