Vendors at Indore's iconic Chaat Chowpatty are transitioning from traditional gas burners to electric appliances due to the disruption in LPG supplies caused by West Asia tensions. This shift aims to preserve the city's beloved street food culture amidst the prioritization of domestic LPG distribution.

Gunjan Sharma, leading the Chaat Chowpatty Traders Association, confirmed this adaptation. 'The supply of commercial LPG cylinders has been halted,' Sharma stated, emphasizing alternative solutions like electric and potentially solar-powered appliances to continue satisfying customers.
