Eastern Himalaya - LPG Gas Crisis In Sikkim - India
A woman carries a domestic cooking LPG cylinder across the road in Rongli, Sikkim, India, on April 18, 2026. Sikkim faces a severe LPG shortage due to national supply disruptions linked to Middle East tensions and local transportation issues. The crisis occurs during the peak tourism season, affecting restaurants and hotels that have had to restrict menus or close. The shortage is exacerbated by reduced supply from Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) and damaged infrastructure from recent floods. (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto)
