Angry consumers block road outside LPG agency in MP’s Raisen

RAISEN (MP): (Mar 15) Consumers blocked a road outside a gas agency in Madhya Pradesh’s Raisen district on Saturday after failing to get LPG cylinders despite waiting in queues for hours, officials said.

Hundreds of LPG customers had been standing in a queue since around 7 am, but when the agency located on Sagar Road did not open till 10 am, an hour after it was supposed to start business, they became restless.

A large number of women also joined the protest, alleging that the agency operator had given no prior information and had made them wait for hours. Some women said they could not even prepare morning tea or food for their children, as their cooking gas had run out.
