Mysuru: Listing out various problems they were facing, nearly 250 students of the Old Boys Students Hostel in Manasagangothri, staged a snap stir here this morning, first in front of the hostel and later at the South Gate entrance of Gangothri near Kuvempu statue.
Alleging that the facilities in the hostel were pathetic, the students said that drinking water unit was not working and since the water was contaminated, the students were falling ill frequently. Mosquito menace had increased and there were also bed bugs. The buckets and taps in the washrooms had broken besides lot of grime and algae collected which made the students slip while taking bath. The list of litanies continue with students demanding proper hangers to dry clothes and repair of western toilets which are not in working condition. They charged that the solar panels to heat water are not working. Weeds have grown near the clothes washing area and as a result there is fear of scorpions and snakes lurking around apart from other creatures.
