why is the industry minister threatening gas bottlers?

Industry Minister Gauri Kumari Yadav threatened strict action against LP gas bottlers amid acute cooking gas shortages in Kathmandu, accusing them of artificial shortages and black marketing. She claimed the supply crisis wouldn't ease until industrialists were tackled directly, also alleging that ministry bureaucrats were colluding with them and ignoring reform orders. In response, gas dealers and the LP Gas Industry Association pushed back, stating the disruptions were due to highway blockages and technical issues rather than foul play, which sparked massive political fallout and led to the minister's resignation shortly after.
