Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin on Wednesday urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to take immediate steps to ensure uninterrupted supply of LPG to domestic, commercial and industrial consumers in the State amid the ongoing West Asia conflict.
In a post on social media, Stalin said he had written to the Prime Minister highlighting urgent issues affecting Tamil Nadu and Tamils living abroad due to the crisis in West Asia.
On LPG supply, the Chief Minister requested the Centre to take immediate measures to ensure there is no disruption in supply for households, businesses and industries in the State.
He also sought the Centre’s intervention for the safety and evacuation of Tamils stranded in the conflict-hit region. Stalin urged the Centre to facilitate transit visas, coordinate evacuation efforts and arrange additional flights for the safe return of those affected.
Separately, Stalin said he had written to the Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister Hardeep Singh Puri seeking adequate natural gas allocation for power plants in Tamil Nadu ahead of the peak demand during summer.
In the letter, he requested the Centre to revisit the methodology under the Natural Gas (Supply Regulation) Order, 2026 to ensure sufficient gas availability for power generation in the State.
“Our MPs will hand over these letters in person to the concerned Union Ministers. We look forward to swift action from the Centre,” Stalin said.
