People gave mixed reactions
People have made various types of comments on this viral post. While some hailed the idea as a great example of creativity and “desi jugaad”, others questioned the safety and legality of cutting gas cylinders in this manner.
Many comments also warned that one should not attempt to replace LPG cylinders if they are not completely empty, as residual gas could pose an explosive hazard.
Some people suggest that a traditional chulha can be made from simple materials like bricks even without a gas cylinder. One user said, “Use induction stove or use bricks to make it.”
Despite these concerns, this video continues to spread widely on social media platforms, which shows how things made from Jugaad sometimes generate praise as well as controversies.
