LPG shortage in Delhi leads to black market sales: Report
India
Delhi is facing a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) shortage, and Delhi Police are now ramping up security at gas agencies to stop black market sales and make sure everyone gets their fair share.
Officers are on patrol, keeping an eye out for hoarding and price hikes as people scramble for cylinders.
Restaurants are feeling the heat
The shortage isn't just tough on households: restaurants across Delhi are having to shrink their menus or switch to alternatives like piped gas just to stay open.
Smaller eateries especially are struggling, with some worried about how long they can keep going if things don't improve soon.
Delhi Police say they'll keep watch to prevent any shady business while supplies remain tight.
