Essential Commodities Act Invoked Amid LPG Shortage

The government invoked the Essential Commodities Act, 1955, to secure domestic cooking gas supplies due to global energy uncertainties from the Iran conflict.

Officials state gas from new sources will end the crisis soon. Parliament saw protests and adjournments over the LPG issue during the Budget session.
