Tripura, 15 July, 2025: In a display of growing frustration, a group of women from Chailengta in Dhalai district blocked the main road connecting Chailengta to Manu this afternoon, protesting the irregular supply of LPG cylinders by the local gas agency.
According to local sources, residents have been facing severe difficulties over the past several days as the Chailengta gas agency has failed to provide LPG cylinders on time. Despite repeated attempts to contact the agency, no resolution was offered, leading to widespread hardship, particularly for women managing household chores.
The road blockade brought traffic to a complete halt on both sides. Upon receiving the news, police and local administration officials rushed to the spot and engaged with the protesters. After being assured of a prompt resolution to the supply issue, the protesters temporarily lifted the blockade.
However, the women warned that they will resume the agitation if the situation is not resolved soon.
