He said the supply of fuel would be ensured and people should not indulge in panic buying. The DC sent instructions to sales officers of Indian Oil Corporation, Hindustan Petroleum and Bharat Petroleum to ensure 1,500 litres of diesel and 500 litres of petrol at each petrol pump of their respective companies as “reserve” for essential services. He said the district administration would offer every kind of support to the companies in facilitating the supply to the fuel stations. The DC warned that any kind of hoarding by petrol pumps or any person would not be tolerated.
