Telangana Civil Supplies Minister N Uttam Kumar Reddy wrote to Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri, highlighting a 55-metric-tonne shortfall in everyday auto LPG supply. He said this affects about one lakh LPG auto-rickshaws in the state. Reddy alleged that private oil marketing companies are charging ₹93 per litre, higher than the public sector outlets' price of around ₹75 per litre.
