The Civil Supplies Department of Telangana issued an official alert today assuring citizens that there is no shortage of petrol and diesel in the state. The announcement comes amid reports of several fuel stations displaying boards stating they have no fuel available, causing concern among residents across Telangana.
Despite the department’s assurance, many citizens are facing difficulties as numerous fuel bunks have temporarily shut down operations. The situation has led to confusion among the public, with long queues forming at operational petrol pumps in various parts of the state.
The department has strongly urged citizens not to fall prey to online rumors and fake news circulating on social media platforms regarding impending fuel scarcities. Officials emphasized that the state currently holds ample stock to seamlessly meet the regular demands of all commuters, the transport sector, and the farming community.
Under the direction of Commissioner of Civil Supplies M. Stephen Raveendra, the department is working closely with Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) to ensure uninterrupted distribution across all districts. The coordinated effort aims to address any temporary disruptions at individual fuel stations.
According to the latest official report released by the department, the state’s daily supply stands robust with 7,443 KL of petrol and 11,081 KL of diesel supplied up to 4 PM today. The combined total of 18,524 KL demonstrates the state’s capacity to meet fuel requirements.
The Civil Supplies Department reiterated that the current stock levels are sufficient to handle the state’s fuel needs and called on the public to rely only on official information from government sources rather than unverified social media posts.
