GNLU (temporarily) bans bringing meat onto campus as investigates food poisoning outbreak

Days after 20 students suffered from food poisoning at a fresher’s party on Gujarat National Law University campus, the varsity’s authority has imposed a temporary ban on outside food and preparation of nonvegetarian food in the canteen as a precautionary measure. Though several students are unhappy with the institute’s decision, they have been convinced that the measure is temporary.

The decision was made on the recommendation of the District Health Officer, registrar Jagadeesh Chandra T G told the Mirror.

A student told the Mirror that the measure was (hopefully) just temporary.

The cause of the food poisoning outbreak yesterday, has still not yet been pinpointed.

The report from District health officer hasn't been made public. Also the cause was food made by the mess caterers on Fresher's

This is very serious. If this was the US they would be sued for tons of money.

Food poisoning only from non-veg food. Sure it takes time to do the forensics. But I am pretty sure food poisoning can be pretty non-discriminating unless humans wish to make things otherwise. And how do we classify drinks, beyond the usual hard, soft etc.?

It will be useful to see exactly what was recommended by the health officer; on the basis of what; the integrity of the investigative process; and also whether the suggested measures had any clear connections with the findings.

For those who have seen Family Man, you know what I am suggesting.

GNLU students are totally meek. Nothing will happen.

It is a temporary measure. Nothing needs to happen either. Currently GNLU is in a good place. This appears to be a hiccup. Most of the student body is positive In Re the VC and Registrar.
