The students of Dr B R Ambedkar Law College staged a dharna in front of the Chief Secretariat on Tuesday, following the withdrawal of cooks at the college hostel for Women at Muthialpet by the government.
For the past two years, the women’s hostel has had no cooks, after the two cooks, who were serving as part-time employees, were promoted as Daily Rated employees and posted as peons in Tagore Arts College and Bharathidasan College for Women. The 33 inmates of the hostel from various parts of the country, including Andaman and Nicobar Islands, were managing with food from outside and some of them also cooked light meals with some difficulty. Eating outside proved to be an expensive affair as compared to the hostel food. However they faced the worst scenario during the two bandhs on September 17 and 20, when they could not get food from outside. On Tuesday, the students met the Law Secretary at the Chief Secretariat and expressed their grievances. “We would try to bring at least one cook back for the time being and would appoint new cooks for the hostel,” said Soloman Raja, Principal of the Law College.
