LPG crisis: no issues at hospitals so far, says Health Minister

Health Minister Ma. Subramanian on Friday said oil companies were requested to ensure adequate supply of LPG cylinders in the State, particularly for hospitals. So far, no hospital has reported any problems, he said.

Alternative measures, such as using electric stoves and firewood, were being discussed to ensure that patients receive their diets without any disruption, Mr. Subramanian said. Similarly, students staying in hostels have not faced any shortage issues, he added.
