Purandeswari warns against artificial fuel shortage in Rajahmundry
Share :
Amaravati: Rajahmundry MP Daggubati Purandeswari on Saturday reviewed the situation arising out of reports of petrol and diesel shortage in the district and expressed concern over attempts to create panic. Speaking over the phone from Bengaluru with collector Keerthi Chekuri, the MP said certain agencies and suppliers were allegedly creating an artificial scarcity, leading to unnecessary fear among the public. She directed the district administration to keep a close watch on such activities and initiate strict action against those responsible.
She suggested intensifying field-level surveillance, conducting inspections at petrol bunks in coordination with officials, and, if required, deploying special teams to curb irregularities. Clarifying that there is no real shortage of petrol or diesel in the district, Purandeswari emphasised that strict measures must be taken against those spreading false information and triggering panic. She also appealed to the public not to believe rumours and to rely only on official information, assuring that fuel supplies are continuing as normal.
