LPG shortage: Chennai considers reintroducing coal, kerosene sales

Restaurants, autos, and wedding planners are feeling the heat
LPG production has been ramped up by 28%, but households still get first dibs, leaving restaurants and auto-rickshaws struggling.
Many eateries are cutting menus or closing temporarily, while about one-quarter of autos are off the roads due to fuel shortages (and fares have gone up).
Even wedding plans are on shaky ground: about 70,000 events could be impacted unless the state steps in.
Dealers say handling kerosene isn't easy either, with safety and space concerns adding to the stress.
