India steps up preparedness as US-Iran talks collapse; Supplies stable, says govt.

New Delhi, April 12 (UNI) Even as the peace talks between the US and Iran failed with both sides blaming each other for rejecting the terms of agreement, the Government of India on Sunday said it is maintaining close watch on the evolving situation in West Asia, while ensuring stability across key sectors including energy supply, maritime operations and the safety of Indian nationals in the region.
In an official update, authorities stressed that there is no disruption in essential supplies, with LPG distribution continuing smoothly across the country. More than 52.3 lakh domestic LPG cylinders were delivered on April 11, and no “dry-outs” have been reported at any distributorships. The government also urged citizens to avoid panic buying and rely on verified information, while encouraging the use of digital booking platforms and alternative fuels such as PNG and electric cooking solutions.
To curb hoarding and black marketing, enforcement agencies have intensified action nationwide. Over 2,700 raids were conducted on April 11, while Public Sector Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) have carried out surprise inspections, imposing penalties on 219 LPG distributors and suspending 56 distributorships so far.
