Hyderabad: A group of students of the Osmania University (OU) here held a protest after allegedly discovering a razor blade in a curry served at their hostel mess, prompting the varsity authorities to form a committee to investigate the matter.
The students from the New Godavari hostel gathered on the campus on Tuesday night with the food container and demanded justice.
This incident, reported at the university’s Godavari hostel, caused widespread concern among students. Further, students sat on a protest alleging that previous complaints about insects and blades being found in the food have fallen on deaf ears.
The students have demanded immediate action from the university authorities, including the Vice-Chancellor and Chief Warden.
Students had staged a similar protest in front of the Ladies Hostel Complex in Amberpet last year due to the poor food quality served in the hostel. Reports had claimed worms were found in the meal, adding that at least 10 hostel students had fallen ill and were experiencing stomach problems. The protesters had said that the problem with the hostel’s food was ongoing since November 2023.
