Shimla, March 20 -- Congress legislator Anuradha Rana on Friday linked the reported LPG crisis to global geopolitical tensions, saying that 60 per cent of the gas supply comes from the Strait of Hormuz, which has been affected due to the escalating tensions in West Asia.

"We are seeing the LPG crisis in the whole country. Everyone knows the root cause of this crisis. Since the time Israel and Iran started the war, mostly the supply... 60% of the supply comes from the Strait of Hormuz, which is the sea between Iran and Oman," she said.

"Two ships have arrived with the intervention of the Indian government, which is a relief. But if the war continues for a long time, the crisis can get worse," she added.
