Title: Shortage of LPG in Haveri district, Karnataka.
SHRI MANJUNATH KUNNUR (DHARWAD SOUTH):I would like to draw the attention of the Government towards the acute shortage of LPG in Haveri District in my Parliamentary Constituency Dharwad South (Karnataka).
Though the shortage of LPG is happening in all over Karnataka, Haveri District is most affected. Haveri is a most backward and rural district suffering with drought. Drought become an annual feature there and in this scenario, people are suffering a lot to meet their day-to-day needs. There are no factories or any income generating avenues for the people. So, when the income is less, they naturally depend cost-effective fuels for their cooking needs. Therefore, public are agitating and demanding for adequate supply of LPG there.
Government can appreciate that presently the LPG is the only viable and cost-effective fuel available for the people. If such fuel is of shortage, how can they run their day-to-day cooking needs. Moreover, there are also a shortage of number of LPG distributors to provide efficient and wide service to the local people. Particularly in Shiggaon and Hivkerur taluka in Haveri district.
Therefore, I urge upon the Government to take immediate necessary steps for the adequate supply LPG and fixing up of LPG distributors there, in the public interest.
