Anger among female students erupted at the Abdullah Girls College at Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) due to the quality of food in the dormitory. The students held a protest, expressing dissatisfaction with the food quality and alleged unsanitary conditions. The situation escalated when the AMU proctoring team arrived on site, leading to verbal altercations between both sides, followed by clashes and fights. Video footage of the incident has also become available.
The students of Abdullah Girls College are extremely dissatisfied with the food provided in the dormitory. They claim that dirt, insects, and other unacceptable items have been repeatedly found in the food being served. The students state that such problems have occurred previously. Furthermore, they assert that many affected individuals have experienced worsening health due to the poor quality of the food. These complaints prompted the students to protest, demanding cleaner and higher-quality food in the dormitory.
When the proctoring team arrived in response to the protest, a dialogue began between the students and the team. However, the situation quickly heated up. Verbal disputes intensified between both groups, escalating into physical confrontation. A video that appeared online demonstrates the chaos at the scene and the tense atmosphere between the students and the proctoring team, including moments of physical assault.
The protesting students leveled serious accusations against some members of the proctoring team. They claimed that they were treated inappropriately during the demonstration, and some students even accused the staff of inappropriate physical contact. Nevertheless, independent confirmation of these allegations from the students is currently lacking. The university administration's detailed position on the entire matter is yet to be determined.
The protest, which began over dormitory food, expanded to affect students who were supposed to be taking exams. It is reported that students heading to AMU Girls School for examinations encountered difficulties due to the unrest and protests.
Currently, the incident at Abdullah Girls College remains under scrutiny following the students' complaints and protests regarding food quality. On one hand, the students question the quality and hygiene of the food, while on the other hand, the clashes with the proctoring team during the protest exacerbated the conflict. Full clarity on the situation will only be possible once the university administration provides detailed information.
