Food war spills on to streets

Students block traffic to protest bad food at hostel


Over 500 students of a government-run hostel blocked the traffic on Chamiers Road for nearly an hour from 6pm on Monday demanding better food and amenities. The students, who study at different government colleges, brought huge vessels and the food made for dinner out on road. “The food at the mess is bad. The rooms, building and toilets are poorly maintained. We have been demanding better facilities since June 15. The warden is not listening to our complaints,” the students said. They withdrew the protest after police arrived and pacified them.
