Speaking to the media, Eshwar expressed deep concern over the deteriorating conditions in welfare hostels. He mentioned that another student, Jyothi Mahalakshmi, who was also affected by food poisoning, had recovered and been discharged, but Shailaja remained in a critical condition, undergoing dialysis due to kidney failure. Despite multiple visits and requests for comprehensive treatment, Shailaja’s condition has not improved, and she is now on artificial respiration.
