LPG Shortage Affects Auto Drivers in Kolkata; Long Queues Reported in Delhi

A shortage of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is affecting auto drivers in Kolkata, leading to significant disruptions in operations. Many drivers have reported difficulty in refueling their vehicles, resulting in longer wait times and reduced availability of auto services across the city.

In Delhi, the situation mirrors that of Kolkata, where residents are experiencing long queues at LPG filling stations amidst the supply shortage. This increase in demand has resulted in congested lines, and many customers have expressed frustration over the delay in obtaining a regular supply.

The cause of the LPG shortage has not been officially confirmed, but speculation indicates potential supply chain disruptions combined with increased consumption rates. The government has been urged to address the issue promptly, as it affects both auto-drivers livelihoods and residents access to essential gas supplies for cooking and heating.

Authorities are monitoring the situation, and efforts are being made to rectify the supply chain issues to stabilize the LPG distribution across affected areas.
