Shivamogga: Deputy Commissioner K Dayanand, on September 19, paid a surprise visit to the pre-metric boys’ hostel in Vidyanagar, that falls under the purview of the Social Welfare Department.
Upon his visit, the DC found that there was no supervisor present at the hostel and that the student inmates were facing several issues with the place. Unhygienic food, no supply of water in the washrooms, mosquitos, lack of fans and shortage in dining plates and bedspreads were some of the problems faced by the hostel inmates.
The DC then suspended B Thirtappa, the assistant supervisor of the hostel, with immediate effect, for dereliction of his duties.
