Apart from public transport, nearly 3 lakh private cars in MMR have switched to the green fuel, and weekend travel plans of families owning these might
be affected. Commenting on the cause, a senior MGL official said, "Due to a major technical problem at ONGC's gas processing facility at Uran, gas supply
to MGL has been affected in terms of a lower volume of flow and high carryover of condensate (a thick liquid), along with gas. This has resulted in major
disruption of gas supply to MGL's City Gate Station at Wadala." It is this gas station from where all outlets in MMR get supply. There are more than 200
outlets in the region, with 131 in Mumbai alone (52 in the island city and 79 in the eastern and western suburbs). The official said, "MGL is ensuring
that supply to its domestic PNG consumers would be maintained on priority without interruption. But many CNG stations across Mumbai may not operate because
of low pressure in the pipeline due to low gas availability. It may also impact CNG supply to the state transport undertaking's buses (MSRTC)." Almost
18,000 buses are operated by MSRTC daily, with a huge number plying in MMR. Thamby Kurien of Mumbai Rickshawmen's Union said, "It is bad for us. Auto
drivers in the western suburbs had to rush to the eastern suburbs to get fuel. There were long queues and many could not get CNG." The situation could
be similar for kaali-peelis. A L Quadros of Mumbai Taximen's Union said nearly 60% of taxis could be hit if the problem continued on Saturday. The absence
