Girls complained to him about the scarcity of rooms and mosquito problem in the hostel. They said that they had to carry water from the ground floor to the third floor due to no supply of water to the hostel.

Food serving to them was also poor in quality and they were forced to adjust with sambar daily as officials were not following the menu. As the hostel building was situated amid residential buildings, they were being subjected to eve teasing also. They lamented that despite numerous complaints, officials turned a blind eye to them.
