‘LU hostels fully occupied, drinking water found safe in test’
Lucknow University on Thursday announced that all 2,948 approved seats across its 17 hostels have been fully allotted and that drinking water samples from hostels have been found fit for drinking in tests conducted by a government laboratory.
According to the administration, the entire hostel allotment process is conducted on the basis of prescribed rules, merit, reservation system and availability of seats. Some rooms have not been used for residential purposes due to necessary maintenance and repair work, keeping students’ safety in mind.
On drinking water quality, the administration said that following complaints received recently, chemical analysis of water samples from all hostels of the main campus was done by the State Health Institute, Aliganj, Lucknow.
