Bhopal, March 17 The Madhya Pradesh government on Tuesday said educational and medical institutions across the state are receiving 100 per cent of their LPG cylinders without interruption, and domestic supply remains unaffected.
The government stated that domestic LPG production has increased by 36 per cent, and the Centre has issued directives regarding special concessions for City Gas Distribution.
During a daily review meeting, representatives from oil companies said online booking has risen from 84 per cent to 90 per cent.

The state government has constituted a six‑member committee to coordinate with oil companies regarding the availability of petrol, diesel, CNG, PNG and domestic LPG.

Authorities have conducted raids at 1,341 locations and seized 1,827 cylinders across the state.
Meanwhile, industrial and commercial establishments have been urged to obtain PNG connections wherever available.
“The supply of PNG remains uninterrupted and will continue to do so in the future,” the government said.
