Deepawali reaffirms our faith in virtuous life of Lord Rama: Ansari

According to a post by BRS on 'X', KTR warned that the shortage is severely affecting hotels, eateries, hostels and small food businesses. The letter cautioned that thousands of establishments could be forced to shut down, while lakhs of workers and students may face serious hardship if the LPG supply is not restored immediately.

While backing the Centre's decision to invoke the Essential Commodities Act, KTR recommended freezing commercial cylinder prices for the duration of the "crisis" and having a public real-time availability dashboard.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's rally in Tiruchirappalli sent a resounding message that the "countdown of the evil, corrupt" Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) regime has begun, with Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) spokesperson CR Kesavan claiming the party is determined to free the people from the "living nightmare" under the current government, where law and order has reportedly collapsed.

Jharkhand Minister for Food and Civil Supplies Irfan Ansari has written to Union Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas Hardeep Singh Puri, urging the Centre to restore the supply of commercial LPG cylinders to industrial canteens and hotels in the state amid growing concerns over shortages affecting businesses and workers.

KTR said the Congress party came to power by promising six guarantees to the people of the state, but has failed to honour those commitments.
