LPG Crisis Forces Caterers to Cook with Firewood
14 Mar
Summary
- Caterers in Thiruvananthapuram have stopped taking new orders.
- Some caterers are now using firewood, facing significant inconvenience.
- Staff illness and increased firewood costs are emerging issues.
Catering businesses in Thiruvananthapuram are facing an acute LPG cylinder shortage, leading them to stop accepting new orders. This unforeseen crisis has compelled some caterers to revert to using firewood for cooking, a method that is proving to be inefficient and inconvenient. The shift to firewood is not only logistically challenging but also impacts the traditional preparation of elaborate meals.
Several caterers have had to scale back their operations, refusing smaller events and even trimming menus by omitting dishes like parottas and Chinese cuisine. The switch to firewood has led to unforeseen difficulties, including staff falling ill due to unfamiliar cooking conditions and an increase in the cost and scarcity of firewood itself. Businesses are anxiously hoping for a swift resolution to the LPG shortage to resume normal operations and manage staff salaries.
