The shortage of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) has again hit the operation of around 2,000 autorickshaws in Kozhikode city.
Only one fuel station at Kundayithode now caters for these vehicles with the closure or interrupted operation of other accessible outlets.
According to drivers, the LPG station at Kundayithode is always overcrowded. “An LPG outlet at Puthiyangadi was closed two years ago. Another one near the Sarovaram biopark is always short of stock. We are heading to a big crisis,” they said.
