Hyderabad, A massive surge in panic buying has led to the collapse of LPG booking system at several distribution points across Telangana.
Telangana LPG Distributors Association president Kalluri Jagan Mohan Reddy said the sudden spike in orders has paralysed the distribution network, disrupting operations at many LPG distribution centres in the state.
Reddy said the unexpected rush of consumers to book cylinders has strained the system, triggering both technical and operational difficulties at multiple locations on Thursday.
There are 810 LPG distributors in Telangana with 1.30 crore consumers and about 60 lakh LPG domestic cylinders are supplied every month.
Telangana Civil Supplies Minister N Uttam Kumar Reddy had called for a meeting with oil company representatives on Friday to examine if there is a shortage in supply and how to move forward.
