Students at Miranda House in Delhi University protested on Wednesday over the impact of an ongoing LPG crisis on their hostel mess meals. The protest, which included a hunger strike, was sparked by a notice indicating that certain food items would be unavailable due to the LPG shortage caused by the conflict in the Middle East. Students expressed dissatisfaction with the declining quality and nutritional value of the meals, reporting that options had been limited to basic items like bread and sandwiches, with fewer curries and snacks. Bijayalaxmi Nanda, the principal of Miranda House, responded by stating that the mess primarily uses piped natural gas (PNG) instead of LPG and emphasized that any rationing was discussed with the student body. Following the protest, an agreement was reached between the college administration and the student union to address the issues raised by the students.
