LPG Crisis Hits Bansberia: Ma Canteen Closes, Auto Services Disrupted
•Bansberia Municipality's two Ma Canteens, serving 700 people daily for just five rupees, have been forced to close due to a severe LPG shortage.
•Canteen staff express concern over continued closure, while beneficiaries fear going hungry or relying on dry food.
•Bansberia Municipality Chairman Tapas Mukherjee blames the central government's 'wrong attitude' and 'Tughlaq-like directives' for the crisis, assuring efforts to restore gas supply.
•The LPG shortage and sudden price hike are also severely impacting 30,000 auto drivers, causing long queues for fuel and disrupting services across the district.
•Commuters face difficulties as auto services are affected in areas like Baranagar, Barrackpore, Barasat, and Madhyamgram due to insufficient refilling counters.
