LPG Shortage Raises Concerns Over Hostel Meal Preparations in Indian Educational Institutions

A shortage of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is raising concerns about meal preparations in educational hostels across India. In Visakhapatnam district, over 8,000 students in government-run hostels face uncertainty due to limited LPG supplies, reportedly linked to Middle East conflicts. Similarly, IIT Roorkee has advised kitchen staff to prepare for cooking with alternative fuels like wood and coal amid potential LPG constraints that could disrupt hostel meal services.
