New Delhi, Mar 25: Opposition MPs on Wednesday staged a protest inside the Parliament House complex over LPG supply shortages and rising global concerns linked to the West Asia conflict.
Senior leaders including Mallikarjun Kharge, Supriya Sule, Dharmendra Yadav, Sudama Prasad, T Sumathy and Mahua Maji gathered near the Makar Dwar to voice their protest.
Holding a banner reading “Empty Cylinders, Empty Promises,” the MPs raised slogans accusing the government of failing to ensure adequate availability of LPG for consumers.
The protest comes amid reports of supply disruptions, with the situation being linked to ongoing tensions in West Asia that have affected global energy supply chains.
In response to the evolving situation, the government has prioritised the use of domestically produced natural gas for LPG, CNG, and piped cooking gas to stabilise supply.
