Gas supply problems have spread beyond India to other parts of South Asia, affecting businesses and daily life. Restaurants and other establishments are being forced to adjust their operations and reduce the use of energy-intensive cooking methods.
The shortages are also impacting essential public services. In some areas, crematoriums have reported difficulties maintaining operations because of insufficient gas supplies.
Analysts say the situation highlights how global geopolitical conflicts can disrupt regional energy markets. If the shortages persist, the crisis could lead to broader economic and social consequences across South Asia.
