Internet may shut down after gas shortage
US-Iran-Israel War: Due to the ongoing war in the countries of the Middle East, its impact is visible all over the world. For the last few days, there has been a huge shortage of LPG gas cylinders across the country. Due to this shortage, hotels and restaurants in many cities have been completely closed. People are standing in kilometers long queues to fill the cylinders. On one hand, the impact of LPG shortage is not over, while on the other hand, such reports are coming out that due to the ongoing tension between America, Israel and Iran, mobile network and internet services may also be shut down. Let us know what experts say about this topic.
Can the internet be shut down?
- Experts say that if the war between America, Israel and Iran prolongs, it may have a negative impact on internet services as well.
- The reason for this is that LPG is not only used in factories, but in many places it is also used as backup fuel in generators that power mobile towers and data centers.
- In such a situation, if the gas supply stops, it may be difficult to keep the internet and mobile network running.
Will the internet be shut down due to LPG shortage?
Although telecom companies have other options besides LPG gas, but if the shortage of LPG continues for a long time, then there may be an increase in the cost of internet operation, which will have a direct impact on the pockets of the general public. At the same time, internet speed has also started decreasing in some areas of the country. Digital Infrastructure Providers Association (DIPA) says that the government has ordered to fulfill the need of household gas cylinders first. Because of this, oil companies have stopped the supply of LPG to companies running mobile towers. However, the good thing is that right now mobile networks and internet are working fine across the country.
Why is constant telecom connectivity important?
According to DIPA, telecom network is very important not only for making calls or running internet, but also for many important works of the country. Today, facilities like security operations, emergency services, online payments, government platforms and telemedicine are completely dependent on it. The organization has warned that if the supply of network related items stops, then there may be huge problems in building new telecom towers and infrastructure.

What was demanded from the government?
DIPA has asked the Department of Telecommunications to work with the Power Ministry and state power companies to find a solution to this problem. The organization demands that companies making telecom towers should be given relief from the ban on LPG and LNG supply. He says that if this restriction continues, the work of installing new towers will slow down, which will make it difficult to reach mobile networks in remote areas.
