Strait of Hormuz

As consumers are panic buying LPG cylinders amid rumours of shortage, these hoarders are making huge money by selling the cylinders at double the prices.

In the middle of a critical military and trade crisis, PM Modi’s carefully crafted foreign policy is what is preventing panic and scarcity in the nation.
