Srinagar, May 18 (UNI) Amid the global oil and fuel supply disruption due to the prolonged West Asia war, the authorities on Monday claimed that the overall fuel supply position in Jammu and Kashmir continues to remain stable and adequate.
In a statement State Level Coordinator, Oil Industry Himanshu Sharma said that the entire supply chain, including terminals, depots and retail outlets, is functioning efficiently without any disruption.
He said the Public Sector Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) have informed that the availability of essential petroleum products, including petrol, diesel and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), remains normal and uninterrupted across Jammu & Kashmir.
Fuel stocks are being continuously monitored and replenishment activities are progressing smoothly across all locations, he added.
