In a post on X, the chief minister said, “In view of the prevailing situation in West Asia, a review meeting was held today at the Chief Minister's residence with senior state officials, Commissioners, Inspectors General (IGs), and District Collectors to assess the availability and supply mechanisms of petroleum products, LPG, and essential commodities.”

“The supply chain remains completely smooth and normal, and no shortages of any kind will be allowed to occur,” the CM said.

Officials have been directed to closely monitor stocks and the supply of cooking gas and petroleum products, and to take strict action against hoarding and profiteering, he said.

“Delivering timely services to every citizen of the state remains our utmost priority. The people of the state need not harbor any concerns whatsoever,” he added.
