West Bengal faces a significant LPG crisis like other states of India, affecting middle-class households due to surging demand, supply chain disruptions, and panic buying. The crisis is largely caused by disruptions in imports from West Asia, particularly due to conflicts impacting key shipping routes like the Strait of Hormuz. With 60-67% of India's LPG imported from this region, shortages emerge, disrupting restaurants, hotels, and small businesses. There are long queues at agencies, rising black-market prices, and calls for rationing, with the state government protesting against the central government.

The global debut of the Xiaomi Vision Gran Turismo, the 51st concept car in the Polyphony Digital franchise, presents as a full-scale model at the Xiaomi booth during the Mobile World Congress. Designed under the ''Sculpted by Wind'' philosophy, this electric hypercar study features a teardrop-shaped cockpit and a revolutionary Active Wake Control System with rear micro-perforations that manage airflow to achieve a drag coefficient of 0.29 Cx and an aerodynamic efficiency of 4.1. The concept utilizes a theoretical 900V Silicon Carbide (SiC) platform and an all-wheel-drive system with a projected output of 1,900 horsepower. Standout hardware includes the ''Accretion Rims'' with static magnetic covers that remain stationary while the wheels rotate to reduce turbulence. Inside, the ''Sofa Racer'' cabin integrates the ''Xiaomi Pulse'' AI assistant, which uses biometric sensors and the NVIDIA Thor automotive chip to adapt ambient lighting and haptic feedback to the driver's heart rate and stress levels during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, on March 5, 2026.
