Keep tab on social media, DC tell officials on fuel crisis

Bokaro: Deputy commissioner Ajay Nath Jha on Saturday said the district administration is keeping a watch over social media platforms to curb rumours which could lead to panic-buying of petrol and diesel across the district. “We have taken cognizance of some social media report about queues and crisis in petrol pumps here and have directed authorities to monitor social media platforms for action,” Jha said.

At a meeting, representatives of various oil companies informed Jha that sufficient stock is available for all the 132 petrol pumps across the district.
