Many residents said they are facing serious trouble as booking numbers for gas cylinders are not being issued. People complained that without booking numbers they cannot receive cylinders from gas agencies, leaving them uncertain about when they will get cooking gas.

Due to the shortage, hotel and restaurant owners have reportedly been asked to look for other fuel options. At the same time, the administration has tightened monitoring to prevent black marketing of LPG cylinders.

Haribabu Rai said the shortage of gas cylinders in the area has become severe. According to him, many people are standing in long queues outside gas agencies but still do not know when they will receive a cylinder. Because of the shortage, several people are being sent back from agencies without getting gas.
