The university has the responsibility of arranging lodging and meal facilities for the participants and their teachers for the four days of the festival.
According to students, they received dinner between 11.30 pm and 12.30 am yesterday because of water-logging at the venue of the mess. They said that the administration should have made an indoor arrangement for the mess instead of an open space considering the current rain forecast.
