LPG supply will be cut to homes that don't opt for PNG connections where available: Government order A looming gas crunch and a new rule could change how millions cook, with a strict deadline now in place, households may soon face a choice that is not really optional. The government has issued an order mandating that households using liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) must transition to piped natural gas (PNG) connections if they are available in their area. Those who fail to switch by the specified deadline risk having their LPG supply discontinued. The directive aims to address a growing shortage of LPG and promote the use of piped gas as a more sustainable and cost-effective alternative. The decision comes amid rising concerns over the availability of LPG cylinders, which have become increasingly expensive and difficult to procure in recent months. Officials have warned that the current supply chain is under strain due to factors such as increased demand, logistical challenges, and limited production capacity. By encouraging the adoption of PNG, the government hopes to reduce the pressure on LPG reserves and ensure a more stable energy supply for households. The order specifies that households must check for the availability of PNG connections in their locality and make the switch before the deadline. Those who have already installed PNG connections are exempt from the requirement. However, for those who have not, the government has emphasized that continued reliance on LPG will result in the termination of their supply. The policy has sparked debate among residents and industry experts. While some support the move as a necessary step toward energy security, others argue that the transition may be impractical for many, particularly in rural areas where PNG infrastructure is not yet widespread.#government #energy_supply #lpg #png #households
