3,841 LPG cylinders seized in Chhattisgarh
The authorities in Chhattisgarh have seized 3,841 LPG cylinders from 335 locations across the state during the past more than two weeks as part of a crackdown to prevent hoarding of cooking gas, officials said.
The action was reviewed during a high-level meeting on Saturday chaired by Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai to assess liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) availability and streamline the distribution system amid concerns arising from the West Asia conflict.
The chief minister directed authorities to closely monitor the stock and supply of cooking gas and petroleum products, and to take strict action against hoarding and profiteering.
