Domestic LPG prices have surged by ₹29 per cylinder, now reaching ₹942 in Delhi, prompting urgent calls for government intervention from residents in both Guwahati and Delhi. Households are facing increasing financial strain, with rising costs impacting essential items like food and fuel. Jyotika Bora, a housewife from Guwahati, emphasized the difficulties families encounter in managing their budgets, which already include children's education and daily needs. Residents argue that while the price hike may appear minor, it significantly affects low-income families and street food vendors who rely on LPG. They question the government's justification for the increase, attributing it to global conflicts, and seek immediate relief. In response, the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas defended the price increase, stating that Indian consumers still pay less for LPG compared to those in neighboring countries and advanced economies. They noted that the effective price for beneficiaries of the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana is ₹642, while the cost of supply has exceeded ₹1,600 per cylinder. Residents continue to advocate for reduced prices to alleviate their financial burdens.
