🧠 Problem Title: Unnoticed LPG Gas Leakage Due to Worn-Out Rubber Tubes
📝 Problem Description

In many households across India, LPG cylinders are connected to kitchen stoves using rubber tubes. Over time, these tubes undergo wear and tear due to continuous exposure to heat, pressure, and other environmental conditions. They may develop small cracks, become loose, or harden, reducing their ability to securely hold gas., This damage often goes unnoticed because it happens gradually and is not easily visible to the user. In many cases, minor gas leakages occur without a strong smell, especially in ventilated kitchens, making detection even more difficult. As a result, families continue using damaged tubes unknowingly., Such unnoticed leakages pose a serious safety hazard. They can lead to fire accidents, explosions, and health risks due to prolonged exposure to gas. This problem occurs frequently in both urban and rural households due to lack of awareness about regular inspection and replacement of rubber tubes., Despite being a common issue, it is often ignored until a major incident occurs, making it a critical yet under - recognised safety concern.
