The Hindu
Hostel warden cites COVID-19 guidelines
As many as 24 engineering students of the Government Engineering College at Mosale Hosahalli in Hassan taluk are preparing for the first semester examination at an empty market yard in Mosale Hosahalli. The Backward Classes Welfare Department’s hostel has sent them out citing COVID-19 guidelines, leaving the students with no shelter and food. The guidelines suggested that all schools, colleges, hostels, and coaching classes be closed. Chandan, a student, told The Hindu that the hostel warden asked them to vacate the rooms on Thursday morning. “We packed our things and moved to the market, close to our college. We are preparing for the exams from here,” he said. The students had to depend on hotels for food. They are yet to appear for three more papers to complete the first semester. The Visvesvaraya Technological University has not postponed exams.
