A decision to restrict food options has been reversed. Traditional practices associated with Paryushan led to certain ingredients being omitted from meals.
The canteen was to serve food without some common ingredients during the festival. Details about this decision and its reversal are available.
A circular had outlined the plans for the canteen, which were later rolled back after a backlash. Further information can be found in the original report.
