Bengaluru hotels slash menus, hunt firewood amid LPG shortage

Bengaluru, 11/3: Bengaluru’s hotel industry is facing a severe shortage of commercial liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), pushing the city’s hospitality sector to the brink of a total shutdown.

Following the West Asia crisis, the commercial gas supply has effectively dried up since Monday. While some hotel owners are desperately scouting for firewood to keep their stoves burning, others have already begun slashing menus or shutting doors.
