Gas Cylinder Shortage Forces Changes In Hostel Meals
- IT Corridor Hostel Association issues plan amid gas cylinder shortage
- Hostel owners urged to use alternate cooking methods during shortage
Hyderabad: Gas cylinder shortage has forced hostels in the city to change their daily meal plans. The shortage has emerged due to the ongoing US-Israel-Iran war. As a result, hostel associations have urged owners to adopt temporary steps to manage cooking and reduce gas use.
Meanwhile, the IT Corridor Hostel Association has asked hostels to follow a contingency plan. The aim is to reduce gas consumption and maintain basic food services. Therefore, the association urged hostels to temporarily stop serving tea and coffee.
The association also advised hostel kitchens to avoid preparing items that take more time and gas. These include roti, dosa and puri. According to the advisory, these foods require longer cooking time and therefore consume more gas. By limiting such items, hostels can manage the shortage more effectively.
Gas Cylinder Shortage Prompts Food Service Changes in Hostels
The association also suggested avoiding breakfast items that use large amounts of oil. It specifically mentioned items such as Vada and Mysore Bonda. These foods usually require deep frying and therefore use more cooking fuel.
Meanwhile, hostel operators were also advised to limit the number of curries and extra food items served during meals. The association said this step would help kitchens manage the available gas supply. The decision will depend on the situation and the availability of gas cylinders.
However, the association clarified that essential meals will continue to be served. “Food items like rice and other basic meals will be served until the gas shortage situation improves,” it said. This assurance aims to ensure that hostel residents still receive basic food during the shortage.
In addition, the association announced that self-cooking facilities will be stopped for the time being. This measure is expected to further reduce gas consumption within hostel premises.
The advisory also urged hostel owners to keep residents informed about the situation. “We request the hostel owners to implement alternate cooking methods and inform guests about the situation,” it added.
Overall, the steps are part of a temporary response to the current gas cylinder shortage. Hostel associations say the measures will remain in place until the supply situation improves.
