Delhi LPG Crisis: Arvind Kejriwal’s claim; ‘LPG gas supply stopped, the situation may worsen in the coming days..
Aam Aadmi Party’s national convenor Arvind Kejriwal has given a big statement regarding the supply of LPG gas in the country. He said that except educational institutions and hospitals, the supply of LPG gas to all other commercial institutions has been stopped. At present gas is being provided only for domestic use. Kejriwal made this statement when he reposted a post of the Petroleum Ministry and commented on it. They claim that this step is ensuring regular and adequate supply of LPG to domestic consumers.
The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas recently issued a post saying that due to global conditions and disruptions in fuel supply, there is pressure on the supply of LPG gas in the country. The ministry has directed oil refineries to increase LPG production and utilize the additional production on priority for domestic consumers.
Reposting this post, Aam Aadmi Party national convenor Arvind Kejriwal claimed that LPG supply has been stopped to most of the commercial institutions across the country, while gas supply to educational institutions and hospitals continues. He said that at present gas is being made available only for domestic use.
Government gave priority to domestic supply
The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas has said that some important steps have been taken to ensure continuous supply of LPG gas to domestic consumers. Priority is being given to the supply of domestic LPG. An inter-booking period of 25 days has been implemented to prevent black marketing and hoarding. Non-domestic supply from imported LPG is currently being given priority to essential sectors like hospitals and educational institutions. Following these instructions, LPG supply to most of the commercial establishments across the country has been stopped for the time being, while it has been ensured that domestic consumers continue to get regular gas.
Formation of committee for other commercial sectors
The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas has said that a committee of three executive directors of oil marketing companies has been formed to review the requests related to LPG supply to hotels, restaurants and other non-domestic industries. This committee will review the requests coming from various sectors and decide which non-domestic areas should be provided LPG. The Ministry clarified that at present priority is being given to domestic use and essential sectors. At the same time, Aam Aadmi Party’s national convenor Arvind Kejriwal said in his statement that the situation of gas and oil is likely to worsen in the coming days. He raised questions on the policies of the Central Government and said that concrete steps need to be taken to deal with this situation.
Aam Aadmi Party leader Manish Sisodia has criticized the policies of the central government on the situation of LPG gas. “Cylinders are becoming expensive, businessmen like hotels and restaurants are suffering losses,” he said. “This is Narendra Modi ji’s gift. If you make Narendra Modi, you will have to face this.” “Those raising their voice for the school will go to jail, business will be closed and India will be insulted across the world.” This statement of Sisodia is being considered as a direct attack on the policies of the Central Government regarding LPG inflation and disruptions in supply. They allege that these policies are having a negative impact on traders, domestic consumers and educational institutions.
