UoH students take charge of cooking as non-teaching staff strike

Students at Uoh carrying food materials to cook in the open at the shopping complex, as the messes are closed due to strike by non-teaching staff.

In a symbolic gesture of solidarity, Lamakaan management said they will offer free food to students of University of Hyderabad on production of the university ID card.

“Lamakaan opens its kitchen to University of Hyderabad hostellers. In view of the extraordinary situation in University of Hyderabad, Lamakaan has decided to offer free staple food to any University of Hyderabad hosteller upon production of ID card until this crisis is resolved. Being 20 km away from the campus, we realise that this gesture may only serve a symbolic purpose. But we hope that others close by will take cue and act in solidarity,” shared sources managing Lamakaan, the open cultural space in Banjara Hills.

Meanwhile, students of the UoH have procured vegetables and set up an open kitchen near the Shopcom to feed the hungry students as the messes have been shut down due to the strike by non-teaching staff. In a girls’ hostel in the campus, students have already taken charge of cooking lunch.
