They claimed that they have been repeatedly complaining for the past four months regarding the poor quality food and inadequate water supply to the Chief Warden of the hostels. However, no action was taken by them so far, claimed the hostelites. They said they had earlier taken this issue to the management as well but to no avail.
The protestors dispersed after police intervened, took a written complaint from the students and ensured action.
