Hotels across Bengaluru are set to remain closed from Tuesday (March 10) after a disruption in the supply of commercial LPG cylinders, the Bangalore Hotels Association

\n\n

said in an official release. They stressed that the hotel industry will also face difficulties until the gas supply returns to normal. The Hotels Association added despite the oil companies assured that there would be no disruption in gas supply for 70 days, the sudden stoppage is a big blow to hotel industry across the city. \"The supply of gas cylinders for commercial use has been stopped from today. Since the hotel industry is classified as an Essential Service, the common people, senior citizens, students, medical, and other people who depend on it will face difficulties in their daily meals,\" the notice read, according to ANI news agency. The Bangalore Hotels Associated added that the oil companies said that there would be no disruption in gas supply for 70 days, adding that, however, this sudden halt will affect hotel services. \"In addition, our hotel industry will also have to face difficulties until the gas supply returns to normal. Oil companies had said that there would be no disruption in gas supply for 70 days. However, the sudden stoppage of supply is a big blow to the hotel industry,\" they stated.

LPG Concerns and Supply Situation

The prices of domestic LPG cylinders were hiked by Rs 60 on Saturday, taking the cost of a 14.2-kg non-subsidised cylinder in Delhi to Rs 913 from Rs 853. Commercial cylinders saw a steeper hike of Rs 114.5. This is the second increase in prices in less than a year, according to the Indian Oil Corporation website. The hike comes amid rising energy costs linked to the West Asia conflict.\n
\n
\nThe hike has also drawn political fire. Congress leader Udit Raj questioned the timing of the increase. \"Till yesterday, there was news that there is no LPG crisis here. Then how did the prices increase? People have become blind followers,\" he said.\n
