Panic buying is not created in isolation. It is usually triggered by a lack of clear information. The impact is not limited to households alone. The commercial sector is also feeling the pressure. Hotels, restaurants and eateries depend on uninterrupted LPG supply to function normally. When gas becomes scarce…
