‘Shri Ram ke paas bhi cylinder nahi hai’: Ashneer Grover reacts to LPG shortage at Gurugram school

In a recent incident that has drawn attention to the ongoing LPG cylinder shortage in India, Ashneer Grover, co-founder of BharatPe, voiced his concerns after a Gurugram school informed parents via email about the unavailability of LPG cylinders. The email urged parents to make alternative arrangements for cooking meals, highlighting the impact of the current supply chain issues on daily life. Grover humorously remarked, "Even Shri Ram doesn't have a cylinder," illustrating the severity of the situation. This shortage has resulted from various factors, including disruptions in supply chains and increased demand, exacerbated by the ongoing economic recovery post-pandemic. As families struggle to cope with the challenges posed by this scarcity, the incident has sparked a wider conversation about the adequacy of essential services in India, particularly in urban areas like Gurugram, where the demand for LPG remains high. The response from parents and the community has been one of concern, emphasizing the need for urgent measures to address the shortage and ensure that households have reliable access to cooking gas.
