Despite govt’s claims, Delhi’s eateries continue to struggle to get LPG cylinders
✦ AI Brief
Restaurant owners in Delhi are paying extra to buy LPG cylinders from the black market due to a shortage. Prices at eateries have increased by 15-20% and are unlikely to decrease. The Delhi government claims that the cooking distribution system is functioning smoothly with adequate stock available, but spot checks reveal a different situation. The average daily offtake of LPG cylinders is lower than the allocated amount.
