There is an atmosphere of tension in the entire West Asia since America and Israel started the war against Iran. In the midst of this war, Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz, which is very important for the world’s energy needs. Due to this, there was shortage of crude oil and gas coming from Gulf countries. Its widespread impact has been seen in India also. However, the fear has been greatest over the shortage of LPG, the gas used for cooking.

It has been more than 20 days since the conflict started in West Asia. Meanwhile, the situation has continuously worsened due to America-Israel’s attacks on Iran and Tehran’s retaliatory actions. Iran has targeted everything from Israel to US military bases in West Asia in response to the war waged against it. Besides, the Strait of Hormuz, which connects the Gulf countries to the outside world, has also been closed, due to which the supply of crude oil and gas to the entire world including India has been affected. The biggest crisis for India in this war has come due to Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG). Due to the war, the country’s LPG supply has been badly affected and there is a gap between the supply and demand of this gas, while the government says that India has crude oil available in abundance.
