Lucknow University Bans Non-Vegetarian Food
A university in Lucknow, India, has stopped serving non-vegetarian food because they found the kitchens where meat was cooked were not clean.
Now, students have to go outside the campus to get non-vegetarian food.
This is similar to what happened in Bengal where eggs were banned in school meals.
People are worried that soon, buying meat might become like a secret transaction.
The university says the vegetarian food is fine, but some people are wondering why it's only the meat that's being banned.
King George’s Medical University in Lucknow banned non-vegetarian food due to unhygienic conditions in meat kitchens.
Students now have to go outside the campus to get non-vegetarian food.
This ban is similar to the previous ban on eggs in mid-day meals in Bengal.
People are concerned that buying meat might soon become a black-market transaction.
The university claims that vegetarian food is not affected by the ban.
