The members met municipal commissioner Rajendra Bhosale on Wednesday and presented their demands before him.
The members said, “The rate of inflation is high. We have not had a hike since 2012. It is our demand that instead of ₹1.45, the administration must give us ₹15 per student for preparing the food.”
Municipal commissioner Bhosale promised to look into the issue.
