Amita Tuti, Community Correspondent, captures the dismal state of (hostel name). The solar panels are used as tables ! The Hostel is falling apart with no water, no electricity, no cook by the govt. etc. No repair work has been taken up since its inception in 2002-03. The low quality materials used to build it gave rise to most of the problems today. A total of 63 lakhs were used in the name of construction of this hostel to house 100 students.

They have written applications to Social Welfare Dept, even to the Chief Minister. Call To Action: Call Lalita Minz at 9431905568 and demand repair work at the hostel to be taken up immediately.
