Hyderabad: After lizard in chole curry to snail in sambar, food horror continues for the Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University (JNTU) – Hyderabad students. A student received a rude shock when he found a snail on his plate after having a few mouths of rice, along with sambar, for dinner at Manjeera Hostel on Monday.

According to the hostel inmates, the food serving staff tried to downplay the issue, stating that it was not a snail. Only when the student raised his voice, the staff discarded sambar from the bucket.

“The student who hails from North India took sambar and found a snail on his plate after taking a few mouths. He got really upset and left his dinner midway. Earlier, the same incident happened with me. No matter how many times we raise the issue of unhygienic food, it recurs,” said a student, requesting anonymity.

Nearly 10 days ago, students found a lizard moving in chole curry that was served to them for dinner. Several students had already completed their food when the lizard was spotted in the vessel.

Upon learning of the incident, a large number of students staged a protest at the hostel. Protesters lashed out at the university administration and accused the mess staff of gross negligence regarding food quality and hygiene in the hostels.
