Residents in Uttar Pradesh’s Maharajganj staged protests and blocked roads in Maharajganj after LPG cylinder supply was disrupted for several days, causing severe inconvenience to households.
Maharajganj: Tensions flared in Maharajganj on Wednesday as residents took to the streets to protest against the disruption in LPG cylinder supply. The agitation was reported from the Kolhui area, where people expressed anger over the ongoing shortage.
According to locals, the supply of domestic and commercial LPG cylinders has been affected for the past four days. Many residents claimed that despite booking cylinders in advance, deliveries were not being made.
The shortage has caused significant inconvenience, particularly for households dependent on LPG for daily cooking.
As frustration grew, a large number of people gathered outside a local gas depot in Kolhui and staged a protest. Demonstrators raised slogans and blocked the road, leading to a temporary disruption in traffic.
Protesters said they had been repeatedly visiting the gas agency but were being turned away without clear answers.
Locals and officials indicated that the disruption in LPG supply could be linked to broader supply chain issues. The ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East have reportedly impacted the availability of petroleum products, including cooking gas, in several parts of the country.
