Don't pay attention to auto gas shortage rumours: Karnataka govt tells people
Bengaluru (PTI): Karnataka government on Wednesday urged auto drivers, owners, and the public not to pay attention to any rumours regarding the shortage of auto gas.
It stated that some private auto gas supply companies are experiencing a shortage; to remedy this, state-owned oil companies are supplying higher quantities of gas.
"It has been noticed that some media outlets have published false reports that auto owners and drivers are standing in queues in front of auto gas stations in the State, based on rumours that there is a shortage of auto gas," the Food, Civil Supplies and Consumer Disputes Department said in a release.
It said there is a shortage in private auto gas supply companies.
To compensate, the public sector gas companies -- IOC, BPCL and HPCL -- have enhanced the supplies to retail outlets, the department said. Earlier, these three companies supplied 56.67 metric tonnes of auto gas per day, and currently, 83.58 metric tonnes/day are being supplied.
"Therefore, it has been advised that auto owners and drivers in the State should not panic by listening to any rumours and cooperate with us," it added.
Karnataka Minister for Food, Civil Supplies & Consumer Affairs K H Muniyappa on Monday said he will call a meeting on April 10, aimed at resolving the Auto LPG supply issue in the state.
