Media Eye News Bureau: Students of the Indian Institute of Technology-Bombay (IIT-B) opposed its recent decision to ban non-vegetarian food at an eatery on the campus.
The institute had issued the ban in a stating that the decision was taken to avoid fire hazards at the cafe. Students are against this decision and had planned to write a letter to the civil department as well as to the Dean of Student Affairs and have also decided to start a signature campaign as well if the issue isn’t resolved soon.
The students also alleged that the management is trying to impose the food culture of a small section of people in the student body as it was observed that the order came less than a month after students were told to use separate tables and plates for non-vegetarian and vegetarian food after receiving complaints from some vegetarian students.
However the institute denied these allegations by stating that two out of the three faculty members who signed this notice are non-vegetarians and so there is no bias against non-vegetarian eaters.
