A large number of students who gathered near the college gate brought with them a charred vessel of burnt food that caused food poisoning. They raised slogans demanding justice and better food services in the hostel.

According to protesters, three students suffered food poisoning after having Khichdi, which was burnt, for dinner last night. Following the issue, three students were rushed to a private hospital for emergency care.

“Given the issue, we have decided not to have breakfast. We wanted the principal to visit the mess facility and address the issue. But we are told that the principal is busy with the Group-III services recruitment exam arrangements. As a large number of students are appearing for the exam we called off the protest,” students said.

The protesters lamented that poor-quality food had been served to them for about a month.

“We have been facing issues with food quality for several days. In addition, the college has sanitation issues with unbearable stink near the hostel. Our repeated pleas to the college administration are not yielding positive results,” said Laxman, a second-year PG student.  (Maxim News)
