Kolkata, March 12 || Kolkata Police have stepped up vigil across the city to prevent black marketing of cooking gas amid concerns over possible supply disruptions due to tensions in West Asia, a senior police officer said on Thursday.
All police stations in the city have been asked to maintain strict vigilance and monitor the movement and distribution of LPG cylinders. The police have also decided to adopt alternative cooking arrangements, such as induction cookers and microwave ovens in police barracks, to deal with any potential shortage of commercial cooking gas.
