College hostels work around gas shortage in Tiruchi

Educational institutions that run mess for their hostels in Tiruchi have started adjusting to the shortage of commercial gas cylinders by limiting menu items and rationalising the use of fuel resources.

“We have 2,100 men and over 1,000 women who are served three meals daily in our hostels. As of now, we have enough gas cylinders for two days. Since the college will be closing for a long break for Ramzan from Saturday, we do not expect any immediate shortage. However, we have sent requisition letters to our gas suppliers for prioritisation of our orders, once we reopen on April 1,” D.I. George Amalarethinam, principal, Jamal Mohamed College, told The Hindu on Friday.
