Several students of Kurukshetra University held a protest on the university's campus after they allegedly found a worm in the food served to them in one of the hostels. As per the information, the incident happened on Tuesday night when one of the students found a worm in the food served to him and later he told this to other students, following which they took photos and videos of the food.

The students raised questions over the quality of food being served to them in the Vivekananda hostel and held a protest at the office of the chief warden, demanding action against the canteen contractor.

The students also alleged that this is not the first time that such an incident took place and in the past three months this is the third time, however, no action has been taken so far even when they had raised this issue with the concerned officials.

The university staff tried to pacify the students, saying that the canteen has been shut with immediate effect. Brajesh Sawhney, director, public relations of Kurukshetra University, said that "the canteen has been shut immediately and students associated with this canteen have been shifted to the nearby canteen."
