On Thursday, Collector Mehta visited the Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) LPG gas plant in Sakroda to assess the current demand and supply situation of gas.

During the visit, he observed the plant’s operations and gathered detailed information from officials regarding the distribution system, storage capacity, and supply management. Local BPCL officials informed the Collector that the supply of domestic cooking gas in the district is completely normal, ensuring adequate availability of cylinders according to consumer demand. They confirmed that the entire gas distribution process is being conducted in accordance with established Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), preventing any inconvenience to consumers.

While inspecting the gas plant, Collector Mehta also reviewed the storage arrangements, safety standards, and the cylinder filling process. He inquired about the SOPs being followed at the plant and instructed officials to strictly adhere to all safety and quality standards.

Additionally, the Collector sought information about the grievance redressal mechanism for the public. He emphasized the need for prompt and effective resolution of any complaints or issues related to gas supply, ensuring that consumers do not face difficulties.
