A notice to serve 'beef biryani' for lunch on Sunday at the Sir Shah Sulaiman Hall in Aligarh Muslim University has triggered a row after it went viral on social media.

The notice, purportedly issued by two "authorised" individuals, read, "Sunday's lunch menu has been changed, and beef biryani will be served instead of chicken biryani as per demand." Following an uproar in the university over the notice, the AMU administration clarified that it contained a "typing error" and assured that those responsible had been issued a show-cause notice.

The controversy erupted after students at the Sir Shah Sulaiman Hall found the notice, which was shared widely on social media.
