KGMU Bans Cooking Non-Veg Food in Hostels After UP Governor's Concerns
King George's Medical University (KGMU) in Lucknow has banned the cooking and serving of non-vegetarian food in all 18 hostel messes following concerns raised by Uttar Pradesh Governor Anandiben Patel about hygiene lapses and non-veg food preparation on campus. While non-veg items cannot be prepared in hostels, students are allowed to order or cook such food individually. The university has initiated corrective measures and formed a task force to address these issues, amid some internal debate over dietary restrictions.
