West Bengal School Serves Golgappas as Mid-Day Meal Amid LPG Shortage

A viral video from a West Bengal government school shows students eating golgappas (phuchkas) as a mid-day meal amid an LPG shortage that reportedly hindered cooking regular meals. Shared by a school teacher, the clip sparked mixed reactions online, with some appreciating the improvisation during the energy crisis, while others expressed concern that such snacks cannot replace the nutritious meals intended under the mid-day meal scheme. The LPG shortage is linked to broader global energy tensions affecting India.
