Raising concerns over the supply of commercial LPG cylinders amid the West Asia conflict, the Bangalore Hotels Association on Monday (March 9, 2026) warned that restaurants across Bengaluru may have to shut down if the supply is not resumed.
Association president P.C. Rao said the supply of commercial gas cylinders to hotels had been stopped from Monday (March 9, 2026), which could severely affect the hotel industry. The sector, he said, is considered an essential service and is relied upon by a large number of people, including students, senior citizens and others who depend on hotels for their daily meals.
