M-Friends shifts to firewood to cook food for patient care takers

Scarcity of commercial LPG gas cylinders has forced social organisation, M-Friends, to shift to firewood to cook food for the caretakers of the patients in Government Wenlock and Lady Goschen hospitals from Sunday, March 15.

Under its ‘Karunya’ initiative, M-Friends has been providing free dinner to the caretakers at Government Wenlock Hospital for the last 300 days and at Lady Goshen Hospital for the last six months. The organisation has been serving chapati with sabji for five days of the week and idlis with tavve on Mondays and Fridays. It has been serving dinner daily to 400 people in Wenlock Hospital and to 100 people in Lady Goschen Hospital. Until recently, it had been using one commercial cylinder every two days to prepare dinner.
