Gas Cylinder Shortage in Sahupur Leaves Residents in Long Queues Residents of Sahupur, Hathras, faced severe difficulties on Thursday as gas cylinder shortages led to long queues at the town’s sole gas agency. Despite waiting for hours, many consumers left empty-handed, with some unable to secure even a single cylinder. The situation sparked frustration among locals, who accused the agency of failing to meet demand and causing unnecessary hardship. According to local reports, the gas agency has been struggling with supply issues for several days. On Thursday, a large number of residents arrived at the agency’s premises, including those who had booked cylinders as early as March 13. However, these bookings remained unfulfilled, leaving families without essential fuel for cooking. Some consumers claimed they were told their cylinders would be delivered to their homes, but many had already missed previous home delivery attempts. As a result, they were forced to wait in line for extended periods, often without access to food or water. The shortage disproportionately affected vulnerable groups, including women and elderly residents, who faced additional challenges in navigating the long queues. Many had arrived early in the morning, bringing their own supplies to endure the wait, but even by evening, several households remained without cylinders. The lack of immediate relief has led to growing dissatisfaction among the community, with calls for urgent action to address the crisis. Residents expressed concerns that the town’s reliance on a single gas agency has created a bottleneck in the supply chain. They argued that the agency’s inability to manage timely refills has exacerbated the problem, leaving families without access to basic necessities.#residents #sahupur #hathras #sunitha_gautam #gas_agency
