The trainees allege severe shortages in facilities at the centre. There is only one reverse osmosis (RO) machine, and in the extreme heat, they receive just half a litre of RO water per day. The number of fans and water coolers is insufficient, and due to the lack of bathrooms, hygiene conditions are poor. Additionally, CCTV cameras have reportedly been installed in the bathroom gallery. They further allege that when they raise concerns, the in-charge misbehaves with them and uses inappropriate language.
