Las residencias de los principales institutos educativos en Mangaluru y Udupi aún no han enfrentado una escasez en el suministro de cilindros de gas de cocina (LPG), aunque algunas han modificado sus menús para ahorrar gas. Los administradores de las residencias siguen preocupados por si el suministro ininterrumpido continuará más allá de una semana. En medio de la crisis, Tejaswini Ananthkumar, fiduciaria gerente de Adamya Chetana, que sirve comidas del mediodía a miles de niños escolares diariamente, enfatizó en redes sociales el miércoles la necesidad de 'cocinas sin LPG' basadas en biocombustible.

Las residencias de los principales institutos educativos en Mangaluru y Udupi no han enfrentado una escasez en el suministro de cilindros de gas de cocina (LPG) hasta ahora. Algunas han ajustado sus menús para ahorrar en el uso de gas. Los encargados de las residencias están preocupados de que el suministro ininterrumpido no dure más de una semana. Durante este tiempo de crisis potencial, Tejaswini Ananthkumar, fiduciaria gerente de Adamya Chetana —una organización que sirve comidas del mediodía a miles de niños escolares diariamente— recurrió a las redes sociales el miércoles para enfatizar la necesidad de adoptar biocombustible para 'cocinas sin LPG'. Según el informe, aunque aún no han ocurrido escaseces graves, las preocupaciones entre los administradores están creciendo, lo que lleva a un enfoque en opciones de energía alternativa.
