The complaint, especially in the residences reserved for disabled students such as Periyar, Kaveri and Godavari, was said to be serious. Despite the fact that complaints are being made, no concrete steps were taken, and the students claim that no concrete steps were taken, despite the fact that they made complaints to the administration and other concerned bodies. A student of a visually impaired student said: We have the most problems. We wander with a stick. The animal does not understand and fall. He said as soon as the dog bites, the student went to the health center to get the injections and he was bitten by the dog there. Another student said, we often had to cancel our studies or other schemes for fear of dogs. No one listens until anyone is seriously injured. Jnu’s presiding student welfare (DOS), who made seven nutrition points for dogs in Juna, said: “We have taken all the necessary steps.” Held a meeting with the Warden of all residences.
