Costlier LPG sparks quiet crisis in migrant homes in Delhi

Across Delhi's working-class neighbourhoods, a sharp rise in LPG costs is triggering widespread distress among migrant workers. The price of a 5-kg LPG cylinder has increased by nearly 300, making it unaffordable for many. Residents are switching to wood-fired chulhas, with some already making the transition. Daily wage earners are struggling to cope with the increased costs, with many considering moving back to their villages.
