Thane News: Over 800 Hotels May Shut Operations Amid Commercial LPG Cylinder Crunch

The Thane City Hotel Association has raised alarm over an impending crisis as over 800 hotels in Thane face the risk of shutting down operations due to a severe shortage of commercial LPG cylinders. According to Raghunath Shetty, the association's secretary, many food businesses in the city have reported dwindling gas supplies, with stocks expected to last only five to six more days. This shortage is attributed to disruptions in supply chains and rising demand, significantly affecting the hospitality sector. As hotels struggle to maintain their services amid this crisis, the potential closures could lead to significant job losses and impact the local economy. The situation highlights the urgent need for government intervention to stabilize LPG supplies and support the affected businesses, which are vital for Thane's economy.
