Crackdown on LPG black marketing: Raids across Lucknow; man held, 4 cylinders seized from him

In a coordinated crackdown to curb black marketing and streamline LPG distribution, the district administration on Tuesday launched a citywide inspection drive targeting gas agencies, warehouses and delivery systems across urban and rural pockets.

The enforcement push led to the arrest of a man after four domestic LPG cylinders were seized from his possession on Mahatma Gandhi Marg in Hazratganj, with officials suspecting diversion of subsidised cylinders into the black market.
