LPG crisis: Restaurants in Bengaluru likely to shut services as LPG supply remains uncertain
After cutting down on their menus, hotels and restaurants across Bengaluru are likely to shut operations from Wednesday, March 11, as uncertainty over the supply of commercial LPG cylinders continues to disrupt the sector. Several establishments, after limiting services on Tuesday, March 10, said they have no option but to halt operations if supplies are not restored soon.
On March 10, many small eateries that serve a large section of the city’s daily workforce put up boards reading “Only tea and coffee available” while others reduced their menus. Hoteliers said items such as vada and dosa were among the first to be cut because they require continuous heat even when food is not actively being prepared, leading to higher gas consumption.
