There has been a shortage of LPG cylinders supplied by Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) in Kullu since July. According to information, the IOCL had engaged a new firm to supply LPG cylinders from its fuel station at Mehatpur in Una but the firm was reportedly not able to meet the demand.
Earlier, the Mehatpur Truck Union used to charge Rs 25,000 a truck as carriage up to Kullu, but the new firm offered to do the same for Rs 20,000 a truck.
After a short period, however, the firm started citing the non-feasibility of continuing that arrangement at the quoted amount, thus affecting the LPG supply in Kullu.
