There are many parents who would not have any factor with stress-free the nine.30 pm closing date, the boarder mentioned.
"Most of the boarders in the hostel come from far flung areas and their safety is a major concern for their parents. Our demand that the 9.30 pm deadline to report back to hostel be dropped is a legitimate one but the university authorities decided to refer it to our guardians instead of having a dialogue with us. All of us are adults and can take our decisions on our own. Many girls are in two minds now after the intervention of their parents.

Rules are strict in most women' hostel across the city even though they don't seem to be applied very strictly in boys' hostels. "The rules aren't adopted strictly at Eden Hostel which signifies a gender bias too within the angle of the government,' mentioned any other boarder.
