Hyderabad, March 13 A massive surge in panic buying has led to the collapse of the LPG booking system at several distribution points across Telangana.
According to Telangana LPG Distributors Association president Kalluri Jagan Mohan Reddy, the sudden spike in orders has paralyzed the distribution network, disrupting operations at many LPG distribution centers in the state.
He 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 is no problem with domestic cylinders. There is a regular supply. But there is panic booking among consumers, so there is an increase in pending orders. Since there is a sudden surge of 50% in business, there is a delay in supply. This is due to panic buying," Reddy told
