Cachar Administration Assures No LPG Shortage, Urges Residents to Ignore Rumours and Avoid Rush

The administration appealed to residents not to give in to rumours and advised the public to avoid creating unnecessary rush or crowding at LPG retail outlets — behaviour that could itself create artificial shortages.

Congress candidate for the upcoming Assembly election, Abhijit Paul, met with Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) officials and asked them to share the ground-level stock and supply status in the district.
