Reports of disruptions in LPG supply have been reported in parts of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, leading to temporary service interruptions and queues at gas agencies. In Ayodhya’s Ramnagari, the Ram Rasoi near the Ram Mandir had to halt meal distribution due to a lack of cooking gas, disappointing devotees.
A devotee visiting the temple expressed disappointment, mentioning that the community kitchen couldn’t function due to the unavailability of LPG cylinders. Temple authorities clarified that the disruption was temporary and resulted from a supply issue that occurred on Tuesday afternoon.
In Bihar’s Kaimur district, a significant crowd gathered outside an Indane gas agency in Mohania as an LPG cylinder truck arrived after a five-day shortage. Cylinders were distributed under police supervision, with residents queuing up for supplies. Some consumers voiced frustration over verification procedures during the distribution.
Despite concerns, gas agency officials assured that domestic LPG supply remains steady, with deliveries ongoing. Ajay Kumar Singh, a manager at a trading gas agency in Bihar, emphasized that consumers should not be anxious about availability, as cylinders are being delivered within 2–3 days after booking.
Government sources reassured the public on Tuesday, stating that efforts are underway to meet the nation’s oil and energy needs effectively. In response to the West Asia conflict, India has expanded its sourcing strategy, planning to import oil from a wider range of countries to ensure ample supply and energy security.
