Hyderabad, March 25 (RAHNUMA): Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Bandi Sanjay Kumar on Wednesday urged the people not to panic over rumours of petrol and diesel shortage in Telangana, assuring that there is no disruption in supply.
The Union minister clarified that public sector oil companies like Indian Oil, HPCL and BPCL have sufficient fuel reserves, and the Central Government is closely monitoring the situation under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Sanjay warned that misinformation on social media has triggered panic buying, leading to temporary shortages at some fuel stations. He cautioned that such situations could be exploited for black-marketing. “There is absolutely no truth in claims linking fuel shortage to international conflicts. Supply remains smooth and adequate”, he claimed.
He appealed to citizens to purchase fuel responsibly and only as per their daily needs, and not to fall prey to false propaganda
