REVOKE GAS AGENCY LICENSES!
IN case public is experiencing issues with domestic gas agencies or stockists involved in black marketing, hoarding, or overcharging, they can take direct action through official channels to report them.
Authorities have recently been urged to intervene all over the country, where about shortages and black marketing likely to be reported. As part of vigilance government it must place its active supervisor in all suspicious gas go-downs.
In order to initiate an investigation that could lead to the cancellation of an agency’s license, public should report the malpractice to relevant authorities.
LPG emergency and Complaint Helplines should be used for complaints regarding delivery, delays, overcharging, or black marketing.
Domestic LPG supply is monitored by the Food Department under the State government. Public can file a formal complaint with the District Collector or the District Food Officer, and must contact the specific company directly to report their dealer’s illegal activities such the Indian Oil app or their official portal, the BPCL website or app, the HP gas portal.
Selling domestic cylinders for commercial use or at inflated prices (eg Rs1,500-Rs3,000 instead of the regulated price) should be exposed by the people. Dealers claiming “no stock” despite confirmed bookings to divert cylinders to the black market should come to light to face legal action.
Making payments through official apps or portals prevents delivery staff from demanding extra cash. But this is not possible for every consumer. Consumers must maintain records of booking recordings, or messages as evidence of complaints. If any agency is found unreliable, the public can request a distributor transfer to a more reputable one in the area through your OMC’s website or app.

UNDERSTANDING GAS WOES!
EVERYONE thinks the Strait of Hormuz is about oil. It’s not. It’s about everything you need to survive. The strait has been closed for 8 days. People see oil prices and panic. They have no idea what’s actually at stake. Let that sink in.
90% of the world’s sulfur comes from refining oil and gas.
Sulfur – sulfuric acid – the single most produced chemical on earth.
Sulfuric acid is how we extract copper.
Sulfuric acid is how we extract cobalt.
No sulfuric acid = no transformers, no EV batteries, no data center substrates.
One chemical. One feedstock. One chokepoint. All shut down.
But it gets worse.
Qatar ships 30% of Taiwan’s liquefied natural gas through Hormuz.
Taiwan has 11 days of reserves left.
TSMC – the company that makes 90% of the world’s advanced chips – uses 8.9% of the world’s advanced chips – uses 8.9% of Taiwan’s total electricity.
No gas – no power – no chips – no phones, no AI, no military hardware.
Still think this is just about gas prices?
33% of the world’s nitrogen fertilizer feed stock moves through the Strait.
Half of all humans live today exist because synthetic nitrogen.
No nitrogen = no fertilizer = no food = famine.
They’re showing you oil price charts and stock market futures. They’re not showing you that three civilization-critical supply chains run through a 21 nautical mile chokepoint that has been shut for 8 days.
Oil – sulfur – copper—cobalt – every battery and chip on earth
Gas – power –TSMC – 90% of advanced semiconductors
Fertilizer feedstock – nitrogen – food for 4 billion people.
This isn’t an oil crisis. This is a civilization crisis hiding behind oil price.
Iran doesn’t need missiles. Iran doesn’t need drones. Iran just needs to keep that Strait closed – and the modern world starts unraveling within weeks.
11 days. That’s how long Taiwan has before the lights go out at TSMC.
Prepare accordingly.
