I am from India, and online gas booking is temporarily no longer available because waiting list is long now (we use gas cylinders, not piped gas here, and so have to book for cylinders to be delivered home when it becomes empty by use). Earlier, I used to get a cylinder within a day or two of booking, but now it is upto 2 weeks in my city. But I am well off, and can rely on electrical / induction stoves if need be. The really poor, who had been enticed to move away from firewoods to gas through free / highly subsidised cylinders are the ones feeling the real pain - they've gone back to using firewood now. Mid-day meal schemes in schools are also affected due to gas shortage and firewood is being used in some areas to ensure the poor students don't go hungry. Some restaurants and small-scale eateries that relied on gas for cooking too have gone back to using firewoods, because of government restrictions on gas usage.
