Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas has said that it has barred consumers with piped natural gas (PNG) connections from obtaining or refilling domestic LPG cylinders, PTI reported, citing an order. "Such persons will be required to immediately surrender...domestic LPG connection," it said. This comes amid concerns around LPG availability as supply is disrupted due to US-Israel war with Iran.
