Telangana sets up round-the-clock command centre to monitor LPG distribution

The Telangana government has activated a round-the-clock Command and Control Centre at Errum Manzil to monitor LPG distribution across the State. Using GPS tracking and coordination among oil companies and officials, the facility aims to ensure uninterrupted supply and quickly address bottlenecks.

Hyderabad: After constituting coordination committees at both the State and district levels, the State government has now activated a round-the-clock multi-agency Command and Control Centre at the Errum Manzil office to monitor State-wide LPG distribution.

The centre was launched on Saturday and uses real-time GPS tracking to monitor gas distribution across the State, ensuring uninterrupted supply to domestic consumers and priority commercial sectors. Functioning as the State’s central hub to identify and resolve supply bottlenecks, the facility maintains close oversight of the entire supply chain. To ensure transparency, the government has directed all major Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) to provide State officials with immediate access to their fleet GPS tracking systems.
