Gorakhpur residents sleep on streets for LPG cylinders amid severe shortage

Residents in Uttar Pradesh's Gorakhpur are facing a severe shortage of LPG cylinders, forcing them to spend entire nights sleeping on roadsides to secure a refill. Despite official claims of a normal supply and no crisis, locals report waiting in long queues for multiple days only to return home empty-handed. Families are guarding their empty cylinders under mosquito nets, terrified of losing their spot in the line. The inadequate supply has compelled many to resort to cooking on wood, which causes eye irritation and health issues due to the smoke.
