Amid escalating tensions between India and Pakistan following New Delhi's strikes on nine locations in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, major public sector fuel retailers have assured citizens of ample fuel stocks nationwide. Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) stated that their supply lines are operating smoothly, urging the public to avoid panic buying and hoarding of petrol, diesel, and LPG. Similarly, Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) confirmed sufficient stocks of petrol, diesel, CNG, and LPG across their network, emphasizing that all fuel stations and LPG distributorships are functioning normally. These advisories come in response to isolated incidents of panic buying triggered by misinformation on social media, which the government has dismissed as fake. (PC: PTI & Just Dial)
