Several reports suggest that the food quality has been deteriorating ever since the LPG crisis started. However, the college administration denied the allegation, stating that the protest was triggered by the students complaining about the overly spicy food.
The All India Students' Association (AISA), in a statement, expressed solidarity with the students, claiming that the students were forced to subsist on dry bread and "substandard meals."
