New Delhi, April 4: Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Saturday reassured citizens that the supply of both domestic and commercial LPG in the capital is stable and urged them to avoid crowding gas agencies. She emphasised that there is no shortage of LPG -- or any other fuel -- in the national capital, and urged people not to be misled by rumours. Sharing the latest data, the Chief Minister said that on April 3, a total of 1,11,504 LPG bookings were recorded across Delhi. In contrast, the three oil marketing companies together delivered 1,26,379 cylinders -- well above the number of bookings. This clearly indicates that pending demand is being rapidly cleared and that the supply chain is functioning efficiently and without disruption, she said. As a result, the average delivery time for domestic LPG cylinders in Delhi has now reduced to 4.37 days, ensuring timely, reliable doorstep service for consumers, she said.

Based on credible, verified inputs, several cases were referred to the Delhi Police control room, after which coordinated action was taken.
