 District-level committees constituted

To prevent disruptions in domestic LPG supply and to facilitate coordination in case of a potential shortage, district-level committees will be constituted. These committees will include the District Collector, Superintendent of Police, District Supply Officer and officials from all government gas companies.

Their key responsibilities will include monitoring the LPG supply chain, maintaining law and order, and submitting daily reports on the situation.

In the Mumbai–Thane rationing area, a committee will function under the Controller of Rationing and will include the Deputy Commissioner of Police and Deputy Controller (Rationing). Coordination with all Deputy Commissioners in Mumbai and Thane will be carried out by the Joint Commissioner of Police (Administration).

Authorities have also been instructed to explore the possibility of using alternative fuels such as coal or kerosene, while strictly adhering to the norms of the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board. District-level committees will also hold meetings with hotel and restaurant associations to encourage the use of alternative fuels where feasible
