Odisha is facing a perceived fuel crisis as rumors of shortage have led to panic buying, causing long queues and even police deployment at petrol pumps. While several pumps shut down due to stock depletion from a 50% surge in sales, government officials and oil dealer associations have clarified that there is no actual shortage of petrol or diesel. Chief Secretary Anu Garg and Food Supplies Secretary Sanjay Singh urged people not to panic, stating that contingency measures are in place and the government is in constant touch with oil companies to normalize the situation. https://sambad.in/state/the-oil-crisis-has-spread-11836368 #creator program
