Nepal to ration cooking gas over fears of nationwide shortage

Nepal to ration cooking gas over fears of nationwide shortage Nepal will begin rationing cooking gas over fears of shortages amid ongoing US-Israeli attacks on Iran, an official said on Thursday. Chandika Prasad Bhatta, executive director of state-run Nepal Oil Corporation (NOC), said that from Friday, authorities would refill ⁠only half of consumers’ empty cylinders to prolong its stocks of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). The statement triggered panic among consumers, who formed long queues outside refilling plants across the country, but Bhatta emphasised that there were enough supplies of LPG.
