The Manipur government has stepped in to reassure the public amid rising concerns about fuel availability, confirming that there is no shortage of petrol or diesel across the state. This announcement comes in response to a surge in panic buying, which has led to long queues at petrol stations as residents fear potential fuel shortages.
State authorities have affirmed that current stocks of MS-Petrol and HSD-Diesel are sufficient to meet demand, and the supply chain remains stable. Petrol stations have been instructed to operate as usual, ensuring that fuel remains readily accessible.
In an effort to curb unnecessary hoarding, the government has urged the public to avoid panic buying and to purchase fuel only as needed. The official statement emphasized the importance of maintaining calm to ensure that everyone has fair access to fuel during this period of concern.
