AMU Women Students Protest Over Alleged Poor Hostel Food Quality and Hygiene
Students of Aligarh Muslim University's Women's College protested against alleged poor-quality and unhygienic hostel food, citing contaminants like insects, plastic, hair, glass, nails, and stones. Some students reported illness and missed classes. Despite repeated complaints to hostel authorities, students felt their concerns were unaddressed. A proctorial team engaged with protesters, denying allegations of manhandling, and the vice-chancellor met students, promising solutions. Hostel officials noted ongoing discussions and highlighted challenges such as fixed food costs amid inflation.
