Jhansi Faces Dual Crisis: Gas Shortage Triggers Induction Cooktop Scarcity

• Jhansi and nearby cities like Lalitpur, Mahoba, Banda, Hamirpur, and Jalaun are experiencing a severe shortage of induction cooktops.
• The scarcity is driven by a sudden surge in demand as people seek alternatives to expensive and scarce gas cylinders.
• Shopkeepers report being 'out of stock,' with existing inventory quickly sold out due to the increased demand.
• Supply chain issues are delaying new stock from companies, exacerbating the problem for both customers and retailers.
• Customers are returning empty-handed, and experts warn the situation could worsen if supply doesn't improve soon.
