LPG shortage disrupts Rishikesh hospitality sector ahead of Char Dham Yatra. The Middle East geopolitical crisis has triggered persistent energy shortages across Indian cities, with Rishikesh's hotel and restaurant operators now struggling to maintain operations. Hotels and dhabas have shifted to alternative fuels including wood and coal due to inadequate commercial LPG supply. Restaurant owners report marginal improvements in supply remain far below daily operational requirements. Business leaders warn that without immediate government intervention and transparent supply strategies from gas agencies, the hospitality sector faces severe disruption during the upcoming pilgrimage season. Some operators threaten price increases or temporary closures if supplies don't improve. The energy crisis threatens both local businesses and the economic impact of the major religious tourism event.
