Protests broke out in Telangana’s Warangal and Karimnagar after residents and political activists opposed a sharp LPG price hike and reported shortages of cooking gas cylinders. Demonstrators gathered on the streets demanding an immediate rollback of the increase and a stable supply of cylinders. Domestic LPG cylinder prices reportedly rose by around ₹60, increasing the financial burden on households, while commercial cylinders also became more expensive, affecting restaurants and small businesses. Protesters accused authorities of failing to manage supply properly. Officials, however, said LPG stocks are adequate and urged citizens not to panic, assuring steps to stabilise distribution.
