LPG SHORTAGE FORCES IIT BOMBAY MESS TO CUT FRIED ITEMS

A shortage of LPG cylinders caused by the ongoing global conflict has led to changes in the hostel mess menus at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay. In a message sent to students, the mess council announced that the revised menu would come into effect from March 14.

According to the new arrangement, only one vegetarian dish will be served during meals, and additional non-vegetarian items will no longer be provided. Fried and boiled food items have been removed from the menu. Desserts during dinner will be replaced with milkshakes or ice cream. Milk will be served either normal or chilled, and fruits will be provided during both lunch and dinner.

The email sent to students explaining the changes stated that the decision was taken due to the ongoing LPG shortage linked to the current war situation. To reduce LPG consumption and ease pressure on the limited gas supply available in the country, several energy-intensive dishes have been temporarily removed or modified from the mess menu.

The message also mentioned that discussions regarding compensation for the removed items and further adjustments to the menu will take place in the upcoming Mess Committee Meeting.

Items that require longer cooking times or higher energy consumption have been removed for now. The email explained that some changes in the menu are expected as the situation evolves. The mess currently uses a combination of biogas, electricity, and LPG, but the administration aims to conserve the available LPG stock to avoid running out completely.

Students were also informed that the menu may undergo further changes depending on the situation. The regular menu will be restored once the LPG supply returns to normal.

Additionally, events such as tea parties, special lunches or dinners, gala dinners, and similar gatherings have been postponed indefinitely until the LPG supply stabilizes. The message also urged students not to spread or believe rumours that might create unnecessary panic.
