  "account": "Hundreds of students at Dayananda Sagar University's Harohalli campus hostel protested against poor conditions, including non-functional Wi-Fi, lack of hot water, and poor quality drinking water. The students, who had been raising concerns for nearly a month, claimed that the issues impacted over 5,000 students studying engineering and medical courses. The hostel wardens and university administration were urged to address the problems, but no improvement was seen by the promised deadline of August 31. The university's Vice-Chancellor, B.S. Satyanarayana, acknowledged the issues and assured that they were being resolved, including the provision of clean RO water.",
