Medical College Students Denied Tea, Eggs Amidst LPG Cylinder Crisis

Published on April 10, 2026

Students at Medinirai Medical College and Hospital in Daltonganj are grappling with significant changes to their meal offerings following a recent spike in the prices of commercial liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinders. The college administration has announced that tea and eggs will no longer be served in the hostel mess, a decision that has sparked frustration and concern among the student body.

The administration has cited the financial pressures imposed costs of essential cooking supplies as a primary reason for the menu adjustments. With the price of LPG cylinders increasing, the college’s mess managers are reportedly struggling to provide the same level of meals without exceeding their budgets.

In response to the growing discontent, the college has encouraged students to understand the situation and cooperate during this challenging period. Officials have emphasized that these changes are necessary to manage the limited resources effectively and to ensure that basic meal services can continue for all students.

The removal of popular items like tea and eggs from the daily menu has not only affected students’ dietary preferences but has also led to concerns about the overall quality and variety of meals provided in the hostel. Many students have expressed their disappointment and are seeking alternative arrangements for their meals outside the campus.

As the situation evolves, the administration is hopeful for a resolution that will allow for the reinstatement of previously offered food items while balancing budgetary constraints. Until then, students are encouraged to remain patient and supportive as the college navigates these challenging economic conditions.
