Fuel crisis looms in Haryana as Middle East conflict disrupts LPG supplies

Chandigarh, March 11 (UNI) The escalating conflict in the Middle East has begun to cast a long shadow over Haryana, triggering a severe shortage of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) and sparking widespread panic among consumers. While commercial supplies have been effectively suspended, domestic stocks are dwindling rapidly, with major oil companies reporting reserves that could last only between three and seven days.
According to data provided by oil majors to the state government, Indian Oil (IOCL) currently holds a 3.5-day domestic supply, while Bharat Petroleum (BPCL) and Hindustan Petroleum (HPCL) maintain stocks for approximately 7.1 and 5.8 days, respectively.
The ground reality has turned grim as long queues have surfaced outside gas agencies in districts like Kaithal, Rewari, and Faridabad. Technical glitches in online booking systems and the non-receipt of OTPs have exacerbated the situation, forcing consumers, including the elderly, to wait for hours in uncertainty.
