What Happened

Chandigarh residents are protesting the administration's mandate to shift from LPG to piped natural gas (PNG) in areas with pipelines. Complaints include steep billing, disconnection charges, poor service, and a single private PNG operator. Residents want voluntary adoption, multiple service providers for competition, and LPG as backup. The administration plans mandatory PNG adoption by June-end.
