DMK-Led Alliance Protests LPG Cylinder Shortage in Tamil Nadu, Urges Centre Action

The DMK-led Secular Progressive Alliance staged statewide protests in Tamil Nadu on March 15, criticizing the BJP-led Union government for a shortage of domestic and commercial LPG cylinders. The alliance, including Congress, Left parties, and VCK, blamed the crisis on the Centre's policies and lack of planning amid Gulf region conflicts disrupting supply chains. Protests occurred across multiple districts, with leaders demanding immediate government action to resolve the issue and the Tamil Nadu government offering subsidies to ease hardships for eateries.
