The protest took place outside Gurukrupa Gas Agency on Dhanora Road, where angry consumers placed empty cylinders on the road and blocked traffic to draw attention to the issue.

According to residents, households are facing serious difficulties due to the lack of cooking gas supply even though petrol and diesel are easily available in the market.

Consumers alleged that the gas agency repeatedly provided delivery dates for cylinders but failed to supply them. Many said they have been waiting for weeks after booking and paying for refills.

Some residents claimed the promised delivery dates were changed several times, forcing them to make repeated visits to the agency without any clear response.
