Actor Akshay Kumar addressed the ongoing LPG cylinder shortage in Mumbai during a public event on Tuesday, March 17. The actor was present at the headquarters of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), where he joined Mumbai BJP president Ameet Satam to announce the launch of the ‘Mumbai Clean League’, a city-wide cleanliness competition.
During his interaction with the media, Kumar was asked about the impact of the LPG shortage on households. Responding candidly, he said, "Abhi tak toh nahi hai problem koi. Meri wife (actress-turned-author Twinkle Khanna) ne kal hi 2 induction order kiye hai. Vo ghar pe pahuche hai ki nahi ab tak, vo mujhe nahi pata (I've not faced any problem so far. My wife ordered two induction cooktops. I'm not sure whether the appliances have been delivered yet)."
His response comes at a time when several households across Mumbai and nearby regions are dealing with supply concerns. Many have begun turning to alternative cooking methods such as induction stoves, microwave ovens and air fryers to manage potential disruptions.
Meanwhile, the state government has taken measures to address the situation. Maharashtra Food and Civil Supplies Minister Chhagan Bhujbal stated that police protection has been authorised for the transportation and distribution of liquefied petroleum gas, with the aim of curbing black marketing and ensuring smoother supply.
