LPG Crisis Forces Migrant Workers to Leave Indian Cities Amid US-Iran Conflict

LPG Crisis Forces Migrant Workers to Leave Indian Cities Amid US-Iran Conflict

A severe LPG shortage in India, exacerbated by the ongoing US-Iran conflict, is causing a mass exodus of migrant workers from urban centers like Delhi and Mumbai. The crisis has led to a scarcity of cooking gas, making it difficult for low-income workers to sustain their livelihoods. Many workers, particularly from Bihar, are returning to their villages as businesses reliant on LPG, such as restaurants and hotels, are scaling down operations or closing. The shortage has also led to a rise in black market prices, further straining the financial resources of these workers.
