IIT Bombay’s menu changed amid LPG crisis… fried food stopped in the mess, entry of ice cream

Today, there is increasing concern across the country regarding the availability of gas for cooking. Amid pressure on LPG supply in the country, institutions are taking steps to manage their resources. In this context, IIT Bombay has made temporary changes in the mess menu of its hostel. Its main objective is to save the limited stock of LPG and ensure that students get food without interruption.

IIT Bombay officials said that now such dishes will be served in the mess which consume less gas. With this change, hostel residents are experiencing the new menu from March 14. This decision also makes it clear how even big institutions are exercising caution amid global conditions and uncertainty about fuel availability.

What changes have been made in the mess?

According to the revised menu, only one vegetarian dish will be served in every meal. The previously available non-vegetarian dishes have been discontinued for the time being. In addition, high energy-intensive cooking methods such as frying and long boiling have also been temporarily discontinued. Instead of sweets, milkshake or ice cream will now be served at dinner. Milk will now be served at room temperature or chilled, and lunch and dinner will also include fruits.

reason for change

According to the message from IIT Bombay, these changes have been made keeping in mind the shortage of LPG. Due to the current global circumstances and war-like situation, fuel supply has been affected. Therefore, those dishes which required more gas for cooking have been temporarily removed. The institute has clarified that this step is a precautionary measure and is aimed at conserving the available stock and providing regular food service to the students.

Not only mess, but activities like tea parties, gala dinners, special lunches or dinners have also been postponed. Students have been advised not to pay attention to rumors and not to panic. IIT Bombay officials said that these changes are temporary. As soon as LPG supply becomes normal, regular mess menu and normal food services will be resumed.
