‘I request all citizens of the state with folded hands: when we receive a WhatsApp message and immediately forward it to others without any official knowledge or complete information, we waste the time of thousands of people for no reason. Furthermore, strict action will be taken in the coming days against those spreading such false information within the city or state.’
‘Most importantly, there is no need for concern; arrangements have been made to ensure petrol and diesel are fully available at all petrol pumps. The Honorable Chief Minister is reviewing the situation daily, and all relevant ministries in the Government of India are also conducting regular reviews on these matters. ‘ DeshGujarat
