NEW DELHI: The Centre on Tuesday said that the energy crisis in India still remains a matter of concern amid the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. However, it assured consumers not to panic over LPG supplies.During an inter-ministerial briefing on recent developments, Sujata Sharma, joint secretary in the ministry of petroleum and natural gas, advised judicious consumption of LPG and also advised using alternate sources for cooking.”On the issue of LPG, I would like to reiterate that the situation still remains a matter of concern. However, no LPG distributor is facing a dry-out situation at present. In addition, LPG supplies and cylinder deliveries for all domestic consumers are continuing as usual.

There has also been improvement in the delivery authentication code system, which has now reached 76%. As far as commercial LPG supplies are concerned, these were initially completely halted but were later partially restored,” Sharma said.”Cylinders that were placed at the disposal of various state governments and Union Territories are also being distributed. Several governments, including those of Bihar, Delhi, Gujarat, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka, Manipur, Rajasthan and Uttarakhand, have already issued allocation orders for non-domestic LPG,” she added.”Petrol and diesel are available in sufficient quantity. Regarding natural gas, as I told you, the Government of India is making efforts, and it would be beneficial if all commercial LPG consumers shifted to PNG,” Sharma said.Sharma also warned against hoarding and black marketing, saying that adequate measures are in place to ensure smooth distribution across the country.”Regarding enforcement action, so far, about twelve thousand raids have been conducted in the last few days. About fifteen thousand cylinders have been seized… Yesterday in Delhi, about six hundred cylinders were seized. Similarly, in Uttar Pradesh, about four hundred and fifty inspections and raids have been conducted in the last few days. Ten people have also been arrested. In Jammu and Kashmir, five hundred and sixty-four raids have been conducted, FIRs have been filed, and arrests have also been made. In Kerala, about a thousand raids and inspections have been conducted, and domestic and commercial cylinders have been seized. In Madhya Pradesh, too, about twelve hundred raids have been conducted, and about eighteen hundred cylinders have been seized,” she said.”Apart from this, the inspection teams of our oil marketing companies have also been activated, and surprise inspections have been conducted at about two and a half thousand retail outlets and LPG distributorships,” she added.State governments are undertaking enforcement measures to prevent hoarding and black marketing of petrol, diesel and LPG. Raids are being carried out in several states to check hoarding and black marketing of LPG cylinders.Alternate fuels such as kerosene and coal have been activated for certain sectors, including hospitality and restaurants, to ease pressure on LPG supplies.The shortage of LPG has emerged amid global energy supply disruptions triggered by the ongoing conflict in West Asia.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.

NEW DELHI: As stress, anxiety and emotional distress are being discussed more openly in India, the country’s national mental health helpline is ringing more than ever. Since its launch in October 2022, the Tele-MANAS service has handled over 34.34 lakh calls from people seeking psychological support, according to data shared in Parliament.The numbers also reveal where the demand is strongest. In the first two months of 2026, Uttar Pradesh recorded the highest number of calls — over 54,000, followed by Tamil Nadu (around 22,700), Karnataka (about 22,600) and Maharashtra (around 19,564).Parliamentary data also show that calls to the Tele-MANAS helpline have increased steadily since the programme began. In Karnataka, the NIMHANS centre handled 17,072 calls in 2023, rising to 23,442 in 2024 and further to 57,601 in 2025, while Tamil Nadu recorded over 78,000 calls in 2023 and more than 1.05 lakh in 2024 at one centre alone.Israel Iran WarUS-Israel-Iran War News Live Updates: Iran calls Israeli bombing of fuel depots ‘ecocide’; Trump warns Nato over war falloutRising Gulf-Iran Tensions: elites press US to hit Iran harder; fear threat to HormuzAudio Details Iran Strike Aftermath: Mojtaba survives ‘Blue Sparrow’ hit; family and commanders killedThe helpline, Tele-MANAS, operates under the National Tele Mental Health Programme (NTMHP) and allows people experiencing anxiety, depression, stress or emotional crises to connect with trained counsellors over the phone.Dr Naveen Kumar C, Professor of Psychiatry and Principal Investigator of the National Tele Mental Health Programme of India, said callers commonly report low mood, anxiety, sleep disturbances and stress related to exams, workplaces and relationships, a pattern seen across the country since the service began.The service currently functions through 53 Tele-MANAS centres across 36 states and Union territories, offering counselling in 20 languages depending on the language opted by states.The national capital Delhi recorded 5,738 calls between January and February 2026, handled by the Tele-MANAS centre at the Institute of Human Behaviour and Allied Sciences (IHBAS).“Most calls to Tele-MANAS relate to everyday emotional distress such as anxiety, sleep problems and relationship stress, while about 3–5% involve crises including suicidal thoughts,” said Dr Om Prakash, Professor of Psychiatry at IHBAS Delhi, adding that such calls are prioritised for immediate counselling and urgent referral. Nearly 80% of callers are aged 18–45.Counsellors are also authorised to conduct follow-up calls in situations requiring continued support, including cases involving suicidal thoughts, recent attempts, domestic or sexual violence, or when callers request further counselling.However, government data point to staff shortages at several centres, with many sanctioned posts lying vacant in some states, raising concerns about whether the system can keep pace with rising demand.Experts say the surge in calls reflects both increasing mental health stress and a gradual reduction in stigma around seeking psychological help.About the AuthorAnuja JaiswalAnuja Jaiswal is a Senior Assistant Editor at The Times of India, with an impressive 18-year career in narrative journalism.
