LPG Prices ka 'Maha' Blast! Gulf conflict ne India mein machaya haal, vendors aur gharon ki band bajee!
Overview

Yaar, Gulf mein jo conflict chal raha hai na, uski wajah se India mein LPG ki bohot badi dikkat aa gayi hai. Street vendors ko ab kerosene ya lakdi use karni pad rahi hai kyunki LPG cylinders mil nahi rahe aur mil rahe hain toh bohot mehenge hain. Is energy crunch se khane ka rate badh gaya hai aur chhote businesses ki sales kam ho gayi hain.

Shehron mein bijli paani se bhi zyada mehngi hui LPG!

Middle East mein jo jung chal rahi hai na, uska asar ab pure India mein dikh raha hai, khaas kar un logon par jinki aamdani kam hai. Jo log chote food stalls lagate hain, woh pehle toh aaram se LPG use karte the, lekin ab unke paas bas do hi option bache hain - ya toh mehnga kerosene istemaal karo ya phir lakdi jalao.

New Delhi ke paas ek vendor hai, Satyapal, woh ab kerosene use kar raha hai. Woh bolta hai ki pehle jo stove 10 guna kam kharcha karta tha, wohi ab 10 guna zyada mehnga pad raha hai. Iske chakkar mein uski daily sales bhi aadhe ho gaye hain aur ek plate khane ka rate 25% tak badh gaya hai.

Parivaar aur businesses bhi pareshaan

Gharon mein bhi haalat kuch aisi hi hai. Satyapal ke 8 logon ka parivaar hai, aur unke liye cylinder ke price toh bina subsidy wale rate se bhi 4 guna badh gaye hain. Ab toh unko lakdi ka chulha bhi lagana pada hai. Restaurants aur caterers bhi isse affect ho rahe hain. Kuch toh apne menu chhote kar rahe hain, fried dishes kam bana rahe hain aur vegetable oil ka use bhi ghata diya hai.

Raju Bhandari naam ka ek restaurant owner hai, usne apna kitchen LPG se hatakar coal aur lakdi par shift kar liya hai. Woh kehta hai ki safai karna bhi mushkil ho gaya hai. Yeh sab extra kharcha finally hum jaise consumers par hi aa raha hai, khaas kar un low-income workers par jin ki kamai pehle hi khane ke badhte rates se kam ho gayi hai.

Government ne bhi uthaya kadam

Government bhi is situation ko sambhalne ki koshish kar rahi hai. Unhone emergency powers use karke domestic LPG production badhane aur piped natural gas connections jaldi install karne ke liye bola hai, jisse 10,000 naye consumers roz jud rahe hain. Iske alawa, 3,000 se zyada raids bhi ki gayi hain LPG hoarding aur black marketing rokne ke liye.

Oil Ministry ka kehna hai ki situation theek ho rahi hai aur domestic production badhne se commercial supplies phir se shuru ho jayengi. Lekin, Sujata Sharma, jo India ke oil ministry mein joint secretary hain, unka kehna hai ki abhi jo war chal rahi hai uski wajah se immediate relief dena thoda mushkil ho raha hai.
