The Basara IIIT incident has become a topic of discussion across the state. Parents are expressing anger as hundreds of students succumbed to food poisoning. At the same time, some photos related to the mess canteen came out. Looking at them, one might wonder if it is a student canteen? Or cattle shed? Parents are angry about the way it is maintained.
Criticism is pouring in for the kitchen looking like a slum with garbage. Moreover, the vegetables are rotting, the rice is rotting and the lentils are moldy. And the goods are dumped in the storage. More goods are seen near the mound. The drums seem to have been dumped wherever they get dirty. Seeing all this, parents and students are angry with the administrators.
The students say that the authorities are slandering the commissions and encouraging the broker system. They are complaining that no clear statement has been made at the level of the CM. On the other hand, this incident is gaining political color. Along with the student unions, leaders of the opposition parties are criticizing the government. Some years ago, students are criticizing the faction because they acted against the government. In this order, opposition leaders are meeting the affected students one by one and reassure them.
