With the US-Israel-Iran war extending to the 14th day and shipments of petroleum products through the Strait of Hormuz being halted, supplies of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) are tightening across India. However, the government has said that there is no shortage of domestic LPG in the country. Amid this, the Maharashtra government has set up control rooms and district-level committees to ensure an uninterrupted supply of LPG, asserting that there is no shortage of the fuel for domestic consumers. The state has directed officials to spread daily information through radio, FM channels, television and print media to prevent rumours regarding gas supply, adding that action will be taken over fake or misleading information circulated on social media.
