The Centre must explain why there is such a massive disruption in supply despite promises of normalcy,&#8221; she stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To curb hoarding and black marketing, the state government is introducing a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP). District Magistrates and Police Superintendents have been tasked with ensuring that no dealer charges excessive prices or creates artificial shortages. Mamata\u2019s move to restrict the outflow of gas produced in Bengal marks a significant escalation in the ongoing power struggle between the state and the Union government over essential resources. As public anxiety grows, the &#8220;Gas Crisis&#8221; has now become the latest flashpoint in Bengal politics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The ongoing LPG and CNG crisis in West Bengal has taken a dramatic political turn as Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee issued a direct warning to the Central Government.
