Bhopal Hostel Students Report Food Hygiene and Facility Concerns
Students living in a government girls’ hostel in Bhopal say they have problems with their meals and living conditions.
They told the city’s Collector about their concerns.
They say insects or other unwanted things are sometimes found in the food.
They also say some kitchen staff behave badly when students complain.
Photos appear to show objects in some meals, but it is not possible to confirm exactly what they are from the pictures alone.
The students want a warden to help handle problems.
They also want food checks and better electricity, lights, washrooms, drinking water and cleanliness.
Students at a government Scheduled Caste girls’ college hostel in Bhopal submitted complaints to Collector Priyank Mishra.
They alleged that insects and other foreign particles were often found in meals and said food quality and hygiene were poor.
Students also complained of misbehaviour by kitchen staff when they raised concerns.
Photographs appear to show worm-like objects and other deposits in food, but the objects cannot be independently identified from the images.
They requested a warden, regular food inspections, action on staff complaints, and improvements to electricity, lighting, washrooms, drinking water and cleanliness.
