BEST shuts 10 canteens amid LPG crunch, seeks emergency tag for supply
Mumbai: The Brihanmumbai Electricity Supply and Transport (BEST) undertaking has urged the state government and the Union Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas to classify it as an emergency service to ensure an uninterrupted supply of LPG, amid a shortage that has disrupted operations at its canteens.
The move comes after BEST was forced to shut 10 of its major canteens across bus depots due to inadequate LPG supply. These canteens cater to drivers, conductors, staff and passengers. In total, BEST operates 64 canteens across 27 stations in the city.
