Pune eatery reported to FDA for imposing ‘gas crisis fee’

A cafe in Pune is under fire after a complaint was filed regarding a 'gas crisis charge' of up to 7% added to customer invoices. Activist Prafful Sarda reached out to the FDA to challenge the legitimacy of this extra fee, noting that LPG costs have actually gone down. The FDA has confirmed that this type of surcharge is unauthorized and promised to take appropriate steps.
