A student is charged Rs 20 after school staff allegedly do not allow the child to eat “green methi” brought from home as tiffin, according to NDTV. The student is reportedly made to take food from the school canteen instead.
NDTV reports that the student was denied the home-prepared food and then given canteen food, for which the Rs 20 charge is imposed. The report frames the incident as a school tiffin dispute involving restrictions on what students can bring from outside. Based on the available information, the dispute centres on whether the specific food item could be eaten at school and how the student is directed to use the canteen option.
The reporting provided does not include further details such as the school’s explanation, any complaint filed by the family, or whether authorities become involved. The available sources focus on the charge and the alleged refusal to allow the home food.
