Delhi High Court Canteen Resumes Service Amid LPG Crisis

The Delhi High Court canteen faced a temporary halt in serving main course items due to a lack of LPG supply. Service resumed after securing gas cylinders, highlighting broader supply challenges influenced by geopolitical tensions affecting India's LPG imports.

On Wednesday, the canteen at Delhi High Court announced a temporary halt in offering its main course meals. This decision stemmed from an abrupt shortfall in cooking gas—an issue quickly rectified upon securing an LPG supply.

The situation underscores a larger challenge emanating from international tensions. Current geopolitical conflicts have impacted the Strait of Hormuz, a critical passageway accounting for 85-90% of India's West Asian LPG imports. Consequently, India, which imports 62% of its LPG, faces potential supply disruptions.

Despite the global complexities, the canteen briefly turned to serving alternative refreshments, ensuring service continuity for court advocates and staff.
