‘Covid-19 lockdown-like situation returning’: Tamil Nadu restaurants fear shutdown as LPG shortage tightens
Hotels and restaurant owners in Tamil Nadu, speaking to news agency PTI about the ongoing shortage of commercial cooking gas cylinders amid the war in West Asia, said the developments are triggering memories of the Covid-19 crisis when lockdowns were imposed.
Several southern cities, including Chennai and Bengaluru, have raised concerns over a shortage of commercial liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) supplies, as the Central government has taken steps to temporarily prioritise cooking gas cylinders for high-priority sectors such as education and hospitals.
