LPG Relief- Administration sets up control room in GLADA Office

Ludhiana, April 4, 2026: In a bid to tackle the ongoing LPG supply constraints affecting households, migrant workers, and industrial units, the district administration has launched a comprehensive relief drive.
Deputy Commissioner Himanshu Jain stated that to ensure timely grievance redressal and streamline distribution, a dedicated control room has been established at the GLADA Office Committee Room, operational daily from 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. He added fhat the citizens can directly reach out for assistance through the helpline number.
This centralized control room is actively receiving and resolving LPG-related complaints and requests from residents, laborers, and business entities. It is functioning as a critical coordination hub, working closely with gas agencies and Oil Marketing Companies to maintain adequate supply levels for domestic consumers. At the same time, Food Supply Inspectors are being regularly deployed to monitor agency operations on the ground and ensure that households are not facing any shortages or disruptions.
Similarly, Jain informed that the administration has put in place a structured mechanism to oversee LPG allocation for commercial and industrial units, with partial restoration currently being implemented based on availability. Special emphasis is also being laid on supporting the workforce through the rollout of the 2 kg and 5 kg Free Trade LPG (FTL) scheme, under which migrant workers can obtain new LPG connections by presenting a valid identity document such as an Aadhaar card.
Further to reinforce accountability and transparency, administrative officials are conducting routine inspections of gas agencies, while Sales Managers have been directed to maintain sufficient stock levels for domestic users at all times. Non-domestic consumers have been instructed to submit end-use certificates to prevent any misuse or diversion of LPG supplies.
Deputy Commissioner Himanshu Jain also underscored the seriousness of the situation and warned that any instance of non-compliance will invite strict action under the Essential Commodities Act. The entire operation is being closely supervised by a district-level committee led by GLADA Additional Chief Administrator Ojasvi, ensuring that relief measures are implemented effectively and equitably across all sectors. He added that the administration is committed to safeguarding the essential needs of its citizens and urges the public to make use of the control room facility for prompt assistance and support.
