The ongoing war between Iran and Israel is not only affecting energy supplies but also leading to growing concerns over LPG cylinder prices in India. As the war intensifies, LPG cylinders have become more expensive, and the public is facing severe supply issues.
Energy expert Narendra Taneja warns that if the war continues, fuel shortages and subsequent price hikes are highly probable. This has caused panic in the nation as residents rush to prepare for potential shortages of critical commodities like cooking gas.
Despite government assurances of no LPG shortage, recent reports from the field suggest residents are turning away empty gas cylinders. This sudden demand surge and hoarding activities have left many people in various states without gas cylinders for their homes.
Home Secretary Govind Mohan chaired a meeting to discuss the issue, urging officials to prevent misinformation about gas supply. The government has yet to address the concerns, leading to public uncertainties and demands for immediate action.
