Amid LPG shortage, food prices shoot up in hotels

Puri's tourism sector is experiencing a downturn due to a severe cooking gas shortage, leading to menu reductions and price hikes of 30-40%. This has caused a 10-20% drop in tourist arrivals, particularly among budget travelers. Hotels and restaurants are resorting to alternative cooking methods, while residents face delays in cylinder delivery and are increasingly seeking piped gas connections.
