Things getting worse!

Things in the IITB campus getting worse and worse nowadays. We already had lots of problems running the common mess of Hostel 12 and Hostel 13. The caterer called Aditya Caterers was thrown out last year due to some stupid reasons. After that they hired another caterer which also gave up after six months. Its not an easy task to run a mess for around 1200 people. Now they have built up one brand new hostel and one new wing of Hostel 12. And to add to the woes of old H-13 and H-12 mates, they have included all these new people in the same mess which was already in trouble. Now there are 2000 people eating in the same mess. The food quality, hygiene, maintenance everything went down sharply. I can not understand why they could not start a new mess for the Hostel 14. I doubt how long this new caterer will be able to run this mess. One more disgusting thing which has happened is that IIT is charging 800 rupees per year from all students for the stupid facility of the transport system inside the campus no matter they use it or not. Many students have their own bi-cycles and many prefer to walk from hostels to the department. In such a case why a student will pay money for a facility which he or she is not going to use at all. I do not understand who decides these things, in a democratic country things should happen in a democratic way. But here only the big boss takes decisions and are imposed on thousand poor students forcefully.
