Middle East crisis: LPG shortage ripples across Chennai hostels, PGs and wedding halls; hospitals may feel pinch soon

A commercial LPG shortage is impacting corporate canteens, hostels, and wedding halls across Chennai.

Wedding caterers are discussing adjustments with clients, while hospitals, though currently stable, anticipate potential disruptions and are considering menu simplifications and shifts to electric cooking.
