Telangana's Civil Supplies Minister N Uttam Kumar Reddy has assured the public of a steady supply of domestic LPG cylinders despite the state receiving only 20% of its usual daily commercial cylinder supply from the Centre. A command center has been established to monitor and prevent black-marketing.

The state currently receives 6,200 commercial LPG cylinders daily compared to the prior 23,000. The government is focusing on distributing these to schools, hospitals, and government institutions. Meanwhile, the state's supply of 2.3 lakh domestic cylinders per day remains unaffected, eliminating any concerns of domestic shortages.

The public is cautioned against cyber frauds exploiting shortages. Hyderabad Police Commissioner V C Sajjanar warns against fake e-KYC updates and emergency gas booking scams. Citizens are urged to use only official platforms for gas services.
