Vadodara: The historical locomotive workshop at Dahod is feeling the LPG gas cylinder crunch. The canteen that serves meals to workers at the workshop halted its operations. It put up a board stating that operations were suspended due to the unavailability of cylinders.The locomotive workshop was established during British rule. It began operations in 1931 and was underutilized over the years until it was upgraded for manufacturing electric locomotives, with the first 9,000HP locomotive of Indian Railways rolling out last May.The workshop canteen usually feeds around 150 people, at a subsidized rate. With the canteen closed, workers will be forced to have meals outside at higher cost.The canteen contractor, Jitendra Saasi, told mediapersons that they tried to get commercial gas cylinders but were not able to get one. “We had no option but to suspend services until we start getting gas again,” he said.
