After the affected students staged a dharna and submitted a memorandum in this regard, authorities said the issue has been resolved and food is being supplied from last night.
"There was a problem of food supply from the private contractor's end. It was resolved yesterday. Temporary arrangement has been made from last night and the warden has been transferred to Nanded. Students were served food last night and today as well," Tribal Project Director, Pandharkawda, Deep Kumar Meena, said.
Earlier, students of Government Adivasi Hostel no.1 in Umarsara had claimed that there was no food service at the hostel mess due to non supply of essential commodities.
According to students' leader Santosh Atram at the hostel, they had made representations to the authorities concerned but no action was taken.
