When we raised this with the faculty, they tried to bury the snake. problem,” said Sunny Mahto, a third-year student. The students did not agree to bury the snake.The mess is run by a private contractor. The problem with the quality of food is linked to the girls’ mess, pointed out Ayushi, a student.
“SDM sir came for an inspection long ago and 90% of the food was unhygienic. The rules are that if you have to stay in a hostel you have to eat mess food.
