Domestic liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) customers experienced difficulties for the second day consecutively, on Thursday, in placing orders successfully for the refills.

The spike in bookings was far higher than the capacity the system can handle resulting in frayed tempers, disappointment and shock for the households.
