The issue came up when several students on the campus reported of jaundice, stomach issues and sickness in a span of one week. “When there was a sudden surge of cases, a delegation of students met with the college administration, where they claimed that all the food served at the canteen is FSSAI approved,” said Amir Kazi, State joint secretary of All India Students’ Federation (AISF).
The student body claimed that several students have been suffering since April due to unhygienic conditions, contaminated food, unsafe drinking water, and poor hostel facilities. The students stated that the cockroaches and insects were found in milk and sandwich and the lentils were discoloured.

As the complaints increased in the following days and no resolution in sight, a delegation of students met with the Governor of Maharashtra, who also serves as Chancellor of Universities, and submitted a memorandum seeking immediate intervention.
