Security stepped up outside gas agencies in Delhi; leaves of police personnel cancelled

Despite the Delhi government assuring people that the supply of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), petrol, diesel, and piped natural gas across the national capital remains normal, a sense of panic continued to prevail with people lining up in large numbers outside gas agencies in the city on Friday amid the escalating conflict in West Asia.

The situation prompted the police to enhance security measures outside gas agencies to prevent untoward incidents involving distribution of LPG cylinders.

DCP (East) Rajeev Kumar, along with several other senior officers, held a meeting with LPG distributors and urged them to prevent black marketing or rumour-mongering and that law and order is maintained in the area.
