Due to disruption in the supply of LPG gas, the collective kitchens of monasteries and temples and the preparation of Prasad are in danger. There is a shortage in the ‘Shri Ram Rasoi’ operated in the Amava Ram temple located near the Ram temple.
According to the temple administration, it is facing difficulties due to non-supply of gas cylinders. In this kitchen, free food was provided to about 20 to 25 thousand devotees every day.
Gas crisis looms over 150 shops too

Around 150 shopkeepers around Hanumangarhi are facing the problem of making laddus and prasad as the production in the factories has been affected.
