Students from the Kalyan hostel in Rampar Keshth, Buxar, staged a protest at Ambedkar Chowk on Sunday, demanding better food, electricity and study facilities.
On Sunday, a group of residents from the Kalyan hostel in Rampar Keshth, Buxar, gathered at Ambedkar Chowk to voice their dissatisfaction with the hostel's management. The demonstrators carried placards and chanted slogans, drawing the attention of passers‑by and local vendors.
The students highlighted three core grievances: irregular and sub‑standard meals, frequent power outages, and inadequate study spaces that hinder their academic progress. They argued that the existing conditions compromise both health and learning outcomes.
According to the protesters, hostel authorities warned that any student who publicly raises these issues could have their name removed from the hostel register, effectively barring them from accommodation. This alleged intimidation has intensified the students' resolve to seek redress.
Representatives of the hostel administration were approached by the demonstrators for an immediate response, but officials have not yet issued a formal statement. The protest remained peaceful, with no reports of clashes or arrests.
Local authorities have been notified, and the situation is being monitored to ensure that the students' concerns are addressed without further escalation.
