Kalyan, March 14: Amid circulating rumours about a possible shortage of domestic LPG cylinders, petrol and diesel in the Dombivli area, the rationing department has issued a clarification assuring citizens that adequate stock of essential fuels is available across the region.

Rationing Officer Deepak Doles stated that gas distributors and petrol pumps in the Kalyan–Dombivli belt currently have sufficient supplies, and there is no need for panic buying or rushing to refill cylinders and fuel tanks.

Citizens urged not to spread rumours
