Andhra hotels warn of shutdown, appeal for uninterrupted gas supply

An Indian Oil Corporation source told PTI that commercial Liquefied Petroleum Gas supplies are being restricted to prioritise domestic users, while the Centre has also restructured its gas allocations today in response to shifting energy demands.

"Facilitate coordination with LPG distributors and concerned authorities in the state to ensure reasonable and uninterrupted availability of commercial LPG cylinders for the hospitality sector in Andhra Pradesh," said association president RV Swamy in a letter to Civil Supplies Minister N Manohar.

According to him, the hospitality sector depends significantly on commercial LPG cylinders for daily operations.
