- Women, children, elderly persons, pregnant mothers, and patients face great difficulty in preparing meals.
- Breastfeeding mothers and families requiring hot water for medical needs (such as preparing medicines or sterilizing equipment) are severely affected.
- Daily wage labourers and tea estate workers find their routine life completely disrupted.
- In desperation, some people risk entering the forests for firewood, which further increases the chances of human-wildlife conflicts and loss of life.
- Declare the forest, hilly, and tribal villages of Gudalur and Pandalur taluks as a Special Category Area (Difficult / Forest / Tribal Area) and reduce the LPG cylinder booking and supply interval to once every 25 days.
- Considering the unique situation of these areas — where firewood collection is highly risky due to wild animal menace — kindly take up the matter with the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, Government of India, and request a special quota / exemption for these regions.
- Issue necessary instructions to the oil companies (Indian Oil / Bharat Petroleum / Hindustan Petroleum) to ensure faster and adequate supply of LPG cylinders to this region.
- Immediately constitute a district-level committee to study this issue and submit recommendations for a permanent solution.
