The hostel kitchen has been locked for the past two days due to an acute shortage of LPG cylinders. This unprecedented mismanagement has left hundreds of resident students stranded, forcing them to spend double the amount on outside food to sustain themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the residents, the hostel administration was informed well in advance that the gas stocks were running low. However, despite repeated reminders, no action was taken to refill the cylinders. As a result, the kitchen came to a grinding halt, leaving the students with no choice but to rely on local eateries. For many students coming from modest financial backgrounds, this unplanned expenditure is becoming a heavy burden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The atmosphere inside the hostel is tense, with students slamming the authorities for their &#8220;apathetic&#8221; attitude towards basic student welfare. &#8220;It\u2019s a shame that a heritage institution like Presidency cannot ensure a simple gas cylinder for its students,&#8221; said a frustrated resident. While the university administration claims that the supply is on its way, the students are demanding a permanent solution to prevent such recurring lapses. The incident has once again sparked a debate over the deteriorating administrative standards at the university.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The prestigious Hindu Hostel of Presidency University is currently in the middle of a massive crisis, not academic, but operational.
