Hyderabad, March 14 (RAHNUMA): In response to global crude oil constraints and LPG supply disruptions, the Telangana Civil Supplies Department has established a ’24/7 multi-agency Command and Control Centre” to monitor LPG distribution across the state and ensure uninterrupted supply to consumers.
The facility, launched on Saturday, uses real-time GPS tracking to monitor gas transportation, stock levels and district-wise distribution. It functions as the central hub for identifying supply bottlenecks and coordinating swift corrective measures.
Civil Supplies Commissioner M. Stephen Raveendra is overseeing the operations, with officials maintaining continuous coordination with district authorities to track logistics and verify stock availability.
To enhance transparency, the state government has directed Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) to provide officials with immediate access to their fleet GPS tracking systems.
Representatives from Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL), Bharat Petroleum (BPCL) and Hindustan Petroleum (HPCL), along with police, industries department officials and distributor representatives, will be stationed at the centre on a rotational basis to ensure rapid response to any disruptions.
The toll-free helpline 1967 has also been integrated into the Command Centre.
Officials said the system will enable round-the-clock tracking of LPG transportation, prevention of diversion or transit delays, and quick resolution of localized supply shortages.
