LPG shortage from Iran war fuels labour exodus from major Indian cities

A severe shortage of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) in India is triggering a mass exodus of migrant laborers from major cities. This energy crisis is a direct consequence of Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz amid a hypothetical war with the US and Israel. As businesses like factories and restaurants shut down due to the fuel scarcity, millions of daily-wage workers have lost their jobs. The Indian government's emergency measures have been insufficient to prevent the cost-of-living crisis, forcing workers to return to their villages.
