Commotion prevailed at the Rajiv Gandhi University of Knowledge Technologies (RGUKT) at Basar in Nirmal district after a section of students refused to eat meals on Saturday night and breakfast on Sunday morning demanding immediate cancellation of the contract of the organisers of the messes attached to the hostels on campus and improve the food quality and resolve all their long pending issues.
The incident comes less than one and a half months after the week-long sit-in by students that rocked the institute. The week-long stir was called off on June 21 paving the way for resumption of classes following the intervention of Education Minister Sabitha Indra Reddy, who visited the campus and assured the aggrieved students to ensure speedy resolution of their demands on the same day.
Their 12-point charter of demands included appointment of a regular Vice -Chancellor and adequate faculty members, renovation of the hostel buildings, provision of requisite amenities and quality food, among others.
