Hyderabad: Students at Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University (JNTU) in Hyderabad's Sultanpur were horrified to find a rat swimming in the chutney served at their hostel mess. The video, filmed by a student, quickly went viral, sparking widespread concern over the food safety at the institution. The incident occurred on Monday night at the Sultanpur JNTU College in Telangana, following recent student protests about the unsanitary conditions of their hostel food.

After the video spread online, authorities directed the district administration to submit a detailed report on the incident.

Last month, Telangana food safety officials conducted inspections at the JNTU Sultanpur campus, revealing significant violations in the canteen’s kitchen. This raid followed a similar one at JNTU Kukatpally, which also exposed poor conditions. Officials found 15 kg of maida flour infested with black beetles and 25 kg of vegetables contaminated with fungus, both of which were discarded. The storeroom was unhygienic, with rodent presence and excessive rat excreta. The kitchen, wash area, and dining area were found in unsanitary conditions. Food handlers lacked proper attire and medical records, and the RO water plant was non-operational.

In a separate incident, a lizard was found in the breakfast served to students at a girls' hostel linked to a government school in Medak district, Telangana. Seventeen students who had eaten the breakfast were taken to a primary health center, with two experiencing stomach pain being transferred to another hospital. In response, a cook and an assistant cook were terminated for negligence, and the caretaker and Special Officer of Model School Girls' Hostel received show-cause notices. The incident was discovered when a student found a lizard in the upma served for breakfast. The caretaker immediately instructed all students to stop eating and took the affected students to the health center for examination. Subsequently, 70 more students were taken to the health center for precautionary check-ups.

Another user questioned the timing, asking, “How can all book at the same time?” while a separate post wondered, “Why is everyone booking LPG at 11:45 AM?”

Many netizens joked about the posts. One wrote, “Everyone is booking LPG gas cylinders at 11:45 AM, and surprisingly it’s getting delivered in two hours. IT cell has some special gas agency. Is it LPG or Naale ka Gas?” 

One urged, “Please tell these hundreds of people to book at 11:45 AM too,” sharing a photo of people standing in ques.

“Booked an Indane Gas LPG cylinder at 11:46 AM today and it wasnt delivered at my doorstep by 2:30 PM. I asked the delivery guy, why didn't he deliver. He replied cylinders were delivered only to people who booked exactly at 11:45 AM,” wrote another. 

 

One user asked, “What was the auspicious occasion to book at 11:45 AM?” while another tweeted, “I am going to book a gas cylinder at 11:45 AM tomorrow, hope Modi Ji will deliver it by 1:30.”

“I want to ask one thing… If I book an LPG cylinder tomorrow at 11:45 AM and the gas agency is unable to deliver it by 1:30 PM, will it be free like Domino’s pizza, or will I get it at some discounted price? BJP IT Cell experts, please confirm so that I can book my LPG cylinder tomorrow exactly at 11:45 AM,” said another humorously.
