Rohtak, March 16, 2026: Deputy Commissioner Sachin Gupta informed that adequate domestic LPG is available in Rohtak district and appealed to citizens not to resort to panic booking, assuring that sufficient arrangements have been made to ensure regular supply of gas cylinders.

Chairing a meeting regarding the availability and management of LPG supply at the Mini Secretariat, the Deputy Commissioner said that the district administration is closely monitoring the distribution of domestic and commercial LPG to ensure that all consumers receive timely supply.

He informed that, as per the directions of the Government, a district-level committee has been constituted under his chairmanship to regulate the distribution of commercial LPG cylinders for hospitals, educational institutions and marriage functions. The committee includes the Superintendent of Police, Civil Surgeon and District Education Officer as members, while the District Food and Supplies Controller will serve as Member Secretary.

To ensure effective monitoring, City Magistrate Ankit Kumar has been appointed as the Nodal Officer for LPG distribution and management in the district.

DC Sachin Gupta further directed that similar committees should also be constituted at the sub-divisional level under the chairmanship of the respective Sub-Divisional Magistrates to oversee the distribution of commercial LPG cylinders for essential institutions and events.
