LPG-Knappheit in Mangaluru-Hostels fördert Biokraftstoffküchen

Die Hostels großer Bildungseinrichtungen in Mangaluru und Udupi haben bisher keinen Engpass bei der Versorgung mit Kochgasflaschen (LPG) erlebt, obwohl einige ihre Speisekarten angepasst haben, um Gas zu sparen. Die Hostelbetreiber sind besorgt, ob die ununterbrochene Versorgung länger als eine Woche anhalten wird. Mitten in der Krise betonte Tejaswini Ananthkumar, geschäftsführende Treuhänderin von Adamya Chetana, das täglich Tausenden Schulkindern Mittagessen serviert, am Mittwoch in sozialen Medien die Notwendigkeit von biokraftstoffbasierten „No-LPG-Küchen“.
