When gas leaks , operating electrical switch can be dangerous because the spark that produced when we operate electrical switch;
LPG is inflammable gas which ignite by Gas lighters in home, that gives simple one spark and gas burner blow fire.
Similarly when switch on/off the electric switch gives a spark due to make and break as load on electric circuit has current flowing(off operation ) or to be flow (start).
If gas having leakage in blocked room no fresh air coming or windows shutoff 100% chances to blow up the fire and convert into huge blast.
So ever keep open window for gas flow out and fresh air in for safety measures.
