The Centre has directed government owned oil marketing companies (OMCs) to coordinate with Jammu and Kashmir government to set up oil depots and LPG bottling plants in various parts of the valley.

OMCs will take the list of possible locations in the Valley for commissioning of New LPG distributorships and petrol pumps and Kashmir and examine its feasibility on priority, said a senior officer of the Petroleum Ministry.
