# Davangere hostels: DC finds poor food, land allotted but no buildings 2026-08-13T03:57:43+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Davangere Deputy Commissioner G M Gangadharaswamy made surprise visits to two government hostels on Wednesday. At the women’s hostel, he found only 500 ml of milk and curd for 40 students and inmates complained of insects in their food. He directed officials to improve sambar powder quality. At the sports hostel, students said the menu was not followed: they were served ghee rice and chicken instead of chapati and biryani. The DC noted the sheet-roof building would be too hot in summer and ordered a shift to another hostel. Separately, Deccan Herald reports that the district administration has sanctioned sites for all hostels, but no buildings have been constructed, so hostels remain in rented premises. ## Coverage - deccanherald.com - deccanherald.com Tags: Davangere, deputy commissioner, government hostels, Karnataka, student welfare, surprise inspection Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/karnataka-dc-finds-short-rations-insects-in-davangere-hostels/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
