The Centre on Monday said the LPG situation in India remains concerning, but there is no news of dry up by distributors.
According to the central government, there is a 100 percent supply of CNG (compressed natural gas) and PNG (piped natural gas). No dry up has been reported, not even in petrol pumps, it said.
The central government said while the LPG situation is concerning, it is available to domestic users and its commercial use has also started. Meetings have been held with state governments to ensure that there is no hoarding.
