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 said in an official release. They stressed that the hotel industry will also face difficulties until the gas supply returns to normal.
“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.
They 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.
The Bengaluru Hotel Association asked the concerned Union Ministers to take immediate action in this regard and resume commercial gas supply and provide support to the hotel industry.
“Hotels will be closed from tomorrow due to the gas supply being cut off,” they stressed.
