Maharashtra Food and Civil Supplies Minister Chhagan Bhujbal on Saturday urged authorities to accelerate the expansion of piped natural gas (PNG) connections, citing the possibility of disruption in LPG supply in the coming months due to ongoing geopolitical tensions in West Asia, reported news agency PTI.

Speaking to reporters in New Delhi, Bhujbal referred to inputs from the Centre indicating that LPG availability could be affected after about three months, prompting the need for alternative fuel infrastructure, reported PTI.
