Amid LPG shortage due to West Asia conflict, the second LPG tanker Nanda Devi reached Gujarat's Vadinar port on Tuesday morning carrying over 47,000 metric tonnes. Part of the cargo will be sent to Tamil Nadu. The Shivalik tanker had earlier arrived at Mundra port with 46,000 metric tonnes of LPG.
An LPG shortage, linked to the West Asia conflict, has forced the closure of four Atal Canteens in Delhi, leaving the poor without subsidised Rs 5 meals. Launched by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta last December, the scheme provides affordable lunches and dinners to daily wagers and labourers. Officials say services will resume soon.

As fears of LPG shortages intensify due to West Asia conflict disruptions, the Indian government has assured adequate supplies and cracked down on black-marketing, while induction stove demand continues to surge following the initial rush reported earlier this week. Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged calm, promising to overcome the crisis like during Covid.
