On the 31st of October 2023, residents of Hall One, Block A found themselves amidst an unexpected disruption in their dormitory.

The commotion grew so loud that it prompted many to cautiously peer out of their rooms, as shouts and even the tossing of beds filled the air. Allegedly, someone had implicated individuals residing in the 300 series rooms.

Under the guidance of the mayoress and two female porters, a coordinated effort commenced to relocate girls along with their beds to the porter’s lounge. It soon became evident that this orchestrated movement was in response to an individual’s actions that had led to collective punishment. The source of this discipline was the desecration of the restroom with sanitary pads and the defacement of the block with fecal matter.

This unorthodox form of reprimand left onlookers pondering its effectiveness in deterring such unsanitary acts within the hostel. The question arose: what if the perpetrator is not a resident of the hostel at all?
