VADODARA: Following the girl students, now boys of Samras hostels have started hunger strike to protest the poor quality of food being served on the hostel campus.
On Monday night, around 300 girl students had staged mass protest at Samras hostel campus demanding strict action to be taken against the operators of the canteen for serving poor quality food in the mess. A few of the girl students later complained that when they approached the warden of the hostel campus, they were asked to remain quiet or face disciplinary action.
Food safety officers of the Vadodara Municipal Corporation (VMC) visited the canteen at the Samras girls hostel to check the quality of food there. The officers collected samples of nine ingredients used for cooking at the hostel and will get these samples tested at the public health laboratory of the VMC.

The boys had staged a protest at the Chankyapuri crossroads in Sama near their hostel on Tuesday night. They went inside the hostel after the police rushed to the spot and asked them to disperse.
