"If I see that with my naked eyes, it will take one month to come out of that trauma," one wrote.
Another said, "This situation is not new at JNTU Sultanpur. Between 2016 to 2020 almost every day we had to argue with the mess management for providing us with this quality of food. Sad to see it continues even today."
A third X user added, "Unbelievable and completely unacceptable. First, we had insects in our food, and now we've found a rat, even after an inspection was conducted. This poses a serious health risk and cannot be ignored. Immediate and thorough action is needed to address these repeated safety violations."
