Gutkha Found in Hostel Food Sparks Student Protest at MGU Nalgonda
Nalgonda (Telangana): A shocking incident was reported at Mahatma Gandhi University (MGU) in Nalgonda after students allegedly found a gutkha packet in jeera rice served at the hostel.
The discovery triggered anger among students, who claimed that insects had also been found in the food on earlier occasions, despite repeated complaints to university staff.
On Monday afternoon, students came out onto the road carrying plates and cooking utensils and staged a protest, demanding accountability. Even after Narkatpally police reached the spot, the students refused to withdraw the protest until assurances were given.
The protesting students questioned the university administration, alleging that while the Vice-Chancellor strictly enforces the 75 per cent attendance rule, student health and food safety were being ignored. They accused the VC of being indifferent to student concerns and adopting an intimidating attitude.
Responding to the incident, Mahatma Gandhi University Vice-Chancellor Altaf Hussain assured the students that a detailed inquiry would be conducted and strict action would be taken against those responsible.
