Visakhapatnam: Students of Andhra University staged a protest against the poor quality of food served in their hostels and canteens. The agitation started after some students allegedly found insects in their meals.
The protesting students raised slogans against the university administration and the government, demanding better food. They said they had complained many times before, but no action was taken. “The food is often stale and smells bad. Many students have fallen sick because of it,” one student said.
A video of the protest has been circulating on social media, showing students expressing their anger and frustration. The video has drawn public attention to the issue, putting pressure on the university to take action.
After hours of protest, university officials assured students that the issue would be resolved. They promised to improve food quality and conduct regular checks. Following this assurance, the students ended their protest but warned they would protest again if things did not improve.
Students now hope the university will take real action to ensure safe and healthy food for them.
