LAHORE: A severe crisis in liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) has emerged across various cities in Punjab, including Lahore, with prices skyrocketing to 700 rupees per kilogram.

This alarming increase has left residents and businesses grappling with significant hardships as they struggle to secure this essential fuel.

Reports indicate that in several areas of Lahore, LPG is currently being sold for between 600 and 650 rupees per kilo, exacerbating the challenges faced by households and commercial establishments alike.

Local officials have attributed the crisis to supply chain disruptions and increased demand, particularly as winter approaches.

The implications of this crisis are far-reaching, affecting not only the daily lives of citizens but also the broader economy.

With rising fuel costs, many families are forced to cut back on essential services, while businesses face increased operational costs, potentially leading to higher prices for consumers.

Authorities are expected to convene emergency meetings to address the situation and explore solutions to stabilize the LPG supply.

Stakeholders are urging the government to take immediate action to alleviate the burden on citizens and ensure a steady supply of LPG in the coming months.
