Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav conducted a high-level review of the civil supply system in the state amid the ongoing geopolitical tension in West Asia. The Chief Minister has assured the people that an adequate stock of petrol, diesel and domestic LPG gas is available in the state and the supply system is completely smooth. He has appealed to the citizens not to panic and not to pay attention to any kind of rumours.

 

To control the impact of this global crisis, the state government has formed a high-level cabinet committee, which includes Deputy Chief Minister Jagdish Devda, Food Minister Govind Singh Rajput and Minister Chaitanya Kashyap. This committee, in coordination with the Central Government, is continuously monitoring fuel and essential commodities in the state. 

 

Food Minister Govind Singh Rajput has clarified that some changes have been made in the refill booking system to give priority to domestic consumers. Now consumers will be able to make the next booking only 25 days after the previous delivery. Its objective is to prevent hoarding and to deliver gas equally to all families.

 

Currently, the supply of LPG for commercial activities has been limited, and hotel operators have been advised to adopt alternative fuels. Strict action is being taken across the state at the administrative level to prevent black marketing. So far, about 500 illegal cylinders have been seized by conducting investigations at more than 120 places. 

 

Also, the government has issued a helpline for the safe return of the residents of Madhya Pradesh living in Gulf countries, through which more than 255 migrants have been contacted so far. The Chief Minister has directed that a quick solution to every problem of the citizens should be ensured through the control room at the district level.
