While the Jawaharlal Nehru University has mostly been in the news this week due to a clash over non-vegetarian food at a hostel, a ceiling collapse, which left a student injured at another hostel on Thursday, has now raised other questions – about crumbling infrastructure and alleged negligence by the varsity administration.
Fasihul Hasan, a second-year student of BA German from Bihar, who was allotted a room at the Sabarmati hostel just over a month ago, received a head injury as a portion of the ceiling collapsed in the restroom on Thursday morning. He was taken to the health centre on campus and later admitted to Safdarjung Hospital.
