Domestic LPG prices have been hiked by Rs 29 per cylinder, effective June 7, raising the cost of a 14.2-kg cylinder in Delhi to Rs 942. This marks the second increase in three months, following a Rs 60 hike in March.
A gas cylinder leakage triggered a fire inside a shop-kitchen in Rajasthan’s Beawar district, killing 28-year-old Manisha and her two young daughters. Police said the blaze spread rapidly when she attempted to make tea, leaving the family trapped before locals and firefighters controlled the flames
The price of 19-kg commercial LPG cylinders has been raised by Rs 993, marking the third hike since February, while domestic LPG rates remain unchanged. The government also maintained fuel prices and revised export duties to ensure domestic supply stability.
