Food Fight! IIT Bombay student complains of non-veg utensils used for veg food

An IIT Bombay student on Saturday wrote an email to the administration about some students using the serving utensils of non-vegetarian food for Jain or vegeterian dishes amid the ongoing food fight at the prestigious institution. In an email, the student wrote, “On October 5th, at approximately 9.35 am - 9.50 am, I observed a student taking an omelet on his plate from the non-vegetarian counter and then using the same laddle to take items from the Jain/vegeterian counter.” “I approached the student and politely informed him of the importance of not smearing non-veg item on veg spoon by touching them with non-vegeterian items after taking from the vegeterian counter. A few days ago, IIT Bombay also imposed a hefty amount of fine worth ₹10,000 on one of the students who participated in the silent protest against the “vegetarian-only" table at the institute. During the meeting, the Mess Council of Hostel 12, 13, and 14 said, “This act was a premeditated attempt to disrupt the peace and harmony within the mess, in defiance of the advice provided by the Associate Dean SA …" Last month, the mess council sent an email to all its residents informing them about the designated “vegetarian-only" tables where only veg food will be taken.
