Mumbai Eateries and Bakeries Seek Temporary Fuel Alternatives Amid LPG Shortage

Mumbai faces a significant LPG shortage affecting restaurants and bakeries, prompting the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) to temporarily overlook its ban on coal and firewood use in eateries. BJP corporator Makarand Narwekar has urged Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to declare bakery fuel supply essential and allow temporary use of alternative ovens to prevent disruptions in pav and bread production. Authorities acknowledge the need for a balanced policy to manage pollution while ensuring food supply and business continuity amid ongoing fuel challenges.
