Auto LPG Crisis Deepens: Kolkata Drivers Rush to Konnagar, Long Queues Halt Operations

• Severe Auto LPG shortage in Kolkata and surrounding areas, forcing drivers to seek gas far away.
• Drivers from Kolkata, Howrah, North 24 Parganas, and Hooghly are queuing at Konnagar's Bishalakshi Tala pump since dawn.
• Unregulated 'cut gas' is unavailable, and official LPG is scarce, leading to long queues and almost halting auto movement.
• Auto drivers express frustration over government claims of no shortage, despite a 5 rupees/kg price hike.
• Drivers struggle to manage finances and EMIs as auto operations are severely impacted by the gas crisis.
