Acting on complaints from citizens about suspected hoarding of domestic liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinders, officials from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), along with Pimpri-Chinchwad Police and Pune District administration, conducted a raid on a shop and its godown in Kasarwadi over alleged hoarding.
During the operation, authorities seized hundreds of LPG cylinders that were reportedly stored illegally amid the ongoing gas supply crisis triggered by tensions in West Asia.
