CM Yadav held a review meeting here to take stock of the situation.
"There is no need for anyone to worry or panic about food, gas or oil supplies. Officials have been asked to ensure the best possible management in the state," Yadav was quoted as saying in a statement.
The central government is closely monitoring the situation. Under its guidance, no supply-related problems are being faced anywhere in the country, including Madhya Pradesh, he said.

"A three-member committee of ministers and officials will monitor the state's supply system and take all steps to maintain it," Yadav said.

The MP government has been in constant touch with the central government for the safe return of Indian citizens, especially natives of Madhya Pradesh either living in the Gulf countries or who went there on work visa or for tourism, according to him.
So far, 255 people have contacted the state government through the helpline, and efforts are being intensified for their safe return, he said.
Deputy Chief Minister Rajendra Shukla along with ministers, Chief Secretary in-charge Dr Rajesh Rajora, Director General of Police Kailash Makwana and other senior officials attended the meeting.
