Prayagraj,

27 March (HS): Engineer Sunil Kushwaha, National President of the Pragatisheel

Samaj Party, described the LPG gas crisis in Prayagraj as a matter of serious

concern and demanded immediate intervention from the district administration.

He warned that if immediate arrangements are not made, a movement will be

launched in the interest of students.

In this

regard, Kushwaha spoke with the ADM Civil Supply over the phone and demanded

immediate provision of a smooth gas supply for students and the establishment

of authorized centers in various neighborhoods to refill small cylinders, so

that students could receive relief and continue their preparation

uninterrupted. He also questioned the government's claim that there is no gas

shortage, while the ground reality is completely opposite.

PSP chief

Kushwaha said that Prayagraj is a major educational center in the country,

where millions of students live to prepare for various competitive exams. These

students often manage their daily lives by filling small cylinders with 2 to 3

kg of gas. However, due to the recent LPG gas shortage, domestic cylinders are

not available on time despite booking, while commercial cylinders are virtually

non-existent. Local small shopkeepers have also stopped refilling gas, further

exacerbating the students' situation. He said that due to this crisis, students

are forced to either eat expensive meals in hotels or return home, affecting

both their studies and future.
