ITANAGAR, Apr 1: Additional District Magistrate, Talo Potom, on Wednesday warned of initiating legal action or cancellation of booking cards of those consumers holding stock in excess above prescribed quantity of LPG cylinder, which has left gas agencies reeling to maintain distribution.
Potom stated he received complaints that due to overstocking of LPG cylinders by few, genuine consumers are   not receiving cooking gas.
The ADM's announcement came after reports of residents hoarding LPG cylinders surfaced causing problems for the gas agencies to maintain inventory.
Asserting that DA is taking all necessary precautions to ensure smooth supply of LPG cylinders, Potom said that the delivery of cylinders is being monitored by DC with support of the control room to ensure every consumer gets essential cooking gas.
Requesting people not to panic, he  informed that the LPG retail and storage outlets under the district are receiving the normal supply of 360 LPG cylinders per day and there is absolutely no shortage of cooking gas and no interruption in its supply.
To ensure its uninterrupted supply in every colony and sector, Potom said a total of six Tata mobile vehicles are daily supplying cylinders to the sectors and colonies.
"The suppliers are doing the delivery under the supervision of a team consisting of a magistrate and police personnel, " he informed while requesting all not to panic and stop panic booking and purchasing. 
The ADM also asked people to not venture out of their houses to visit gas agencies as cylinders will be delivered at the doorstep to help them during this time of crisis.
