A video showing ants lining the stuffing of an aloo puff patty from Dyal Singh College’s (DU) canteen — went viral recently. As expected, it has resulted in memes and humorous comments. Many in the real world, however, have taken it quite seriously.
Principal, Vinod Kumar Paliwal, told us: “This item — aloo patty — is not even on our menu. We have learnt that a student ordered these from outside the college for a celebration. Our investigation into the student posting the video of outside food and claiming it’s from the canteen, is ongoing.”
Regardless, the viral video has affected several students. Shubham Tiwari, a final-year student of Dyal Singh Evening College, says, “On Friday, during our college hours, the students union of the Morning college demanded it be shut down. Even so, nothing came of it and it is still running smoothly.”
