In a significant crackdown on black marketing of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), the supply department of Alwar district in Rajasthan has dismantled an illegal gas agency operating from a field in the village of Dhankhedi. This operation was prompted by ongoing complaints regarding gas cylinder shortages and suspected black marketing activities in the region. During the raid, officials discovered a total of 150 domestic gas cylinders, both filled and empty, highlighting the extent of the illegal operation.

The authorities seized several items used in the illegal gas agency, including an electric motor for gas refilling, pipes, regulators, and electronic weighing scales. These findings indicate a well-established operation that not only posed risks to consumers but also undermined legal LPG supply systems. The presence of such illicit agencies threatens public safety and can lead to dangerous situations if safety regulations are not followed.

This operation serves as a warning to others engaged in similar black market practices and underscores the government's commitment to enforcing regulations within the gas supply industry. The crackdown aims not only to improve the availability of LPG for legitimate consumers but also to deter future illegal activities related to gas distribution in the state, which is essential for public welfare and safety in Rajasthan.
