Sources said the two politicians have conveyed it to the officials assigned the charge of looking after their detention that the food offered to them was not as per their individual liking. Sources said Mehbooba in particular has complained about the breakfast whereas Omar had also issues. Sources said duo has sought attention of the administration but have been told that nothing could help them as of now.
Sources said it was conveyed to the duo that they were being given food as per jail manual. "They have been told that they would have to bear with food as the same was being given to them in accordance with the jail manual as both of them are under arrest," said a senior official on the condition of anonymity.
Sources said while Mehbooba Mufti has been detained at the hut owned by the Forest Department in Chashmeshahi while Omar has been detained at the Hari Niwas Palace on the Gupkaar Road.
