‘Every Life Is Precious’

Gandhi also raised concerns over the living conditions of students who depend on paying guest accommodation because of inadequate hostel facilities at colleges and universities.

He said students, already facing struggles, were now being exposed to life-threatening conditions, with as many as 40 students reportedly forced to live under one roof in “inhumane conditions”.

“Every student’s life is precious,” Gandhi said, stressing that their safety must be protected at all costs.
