LPG Distribution Halts; MP John Brittas Urges Urgent Central Government Intervention

New Delhi: Dr. John Brittas MP has called for urgent intervention by the central government as LPG distribution in Kerala has come to a standstill.

He pointed out that LPG distribution in the state has almost completely stopped and that the suspension of commercial cylinder refilling has worsened the crisis, and he sent a letter to Union Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri.

The central government had stated yesterday that LPG distribution would drop by 30 percent due to the West Asian conflict. Following this, the situation in Kerala has become critical.

The MP has demanded that restrictions related to LPG refilling be eased and that a system be established to prioritise distribution.

Since this issue directly affects food availability, the central government must intervene immediately. The shortage of commercial cylinders has also put the hotel industry and railway catering services in crisis.

Although the three-member committee formed by the government to resolve the issue has begun discussions with industrialists, delays in restoring distribution are increasing concerns.

In his letter, John Brittas urged the central government to take proactive measures to resolve the LPG crisis and to restore the supply chain.
