Hostel food often becomes a topic of debate regarding hygiene, trust, and accountability. In a shocking incident at the University Institute of Technology, RGPV in Bhopal, India, a student alleged that he discovered a lizard in his meal served at the hostel mess.
The situation escalated when a staff member from the mess attempted to refute the claim, insisting that the object in question was merely capsicum. To prove his point, he even consumed the item, stating, “Shimla mirch hai yaar.” However, the student remained adamant, asserting that the object had a lizard’s eye, saying, “Yeh pahu hai iske. Chipkali hai, uski aankh nikal rahi thi.”
The incident was captured on video and quickly went viral on social media, igniting outrage among students and parents alike. Many are questioning the hygiene standards of the food served at the university.
In response to the uproar, RGPV has formed a committee to investigate the matter thoroughly. RGPV Director Sudhir Bhadoria has assured students that their health will not be compromised and that strict action will follow if negligence is found.
As the investigation unfolds, the canteen operator continues to deny the allegations, maintaining that the item was indeed capsicum. Details remain unconfirmed regarding the true nature of the object found in the meal.
Observers are closely watching how the university handles this incident, as it could have significant implications for food safety standards in educational institutions. The incident has raised broader questions about accountability and the quality of food served to students.
With the university’s reputation at stake, the outcome of the investigation will be crucial in restoring trust among students and parents. The community is awaiting further updates as the committee conducts its inquiry.
