NEW DELHI: Delhi University’s Hansraj College has stopped serving non-vegetarian food in college hostel and canteen after offline classes resumed post COVID-19 pandemic, according to the ANI report.

“I don't remember when exactly the serving of non-veg food was stopped. It was 3-4 years back, but the committee must have had a word with students before taking the decision and then the decision must have taken to stop serving non-veg food,” ANI quoted principal of Hansraj College Rama.

Hansraj College principal further said that the administration did not receive any complaints from students against the decision to not serve non-vegetarian food. The facility of serving non-veg food in the college canteen was stopped after the COVID-19 outbreak, she added.

"Administration didn't receive any complaints against the decision to serve veg food only. No student has complained about it. In our college canteen, non-veg food was never served, Rama said," ANI reported.
