Hyderabad Bandh KCR Arrest | Telangana Bandh | Hyderabad OU Campus Bandh
Hyderabad OU, Campus Bandh
HYDERABAD: Students of colleges on Osmania University campus observed a bandh demanding release of tuition fee and pending scholarships to SC, ST and BC students here on Wednesday.
Responding to the bandh call given by the university committee of Students Federation of India (SFI), students of various university colleges boycotted classes and took out a rally from Arts College to NCC.
Addressing the rally, SFI State president Hari Kishore said that the Government was not making adequate budget allocation towards scholarship. As a result, the economically and socially backward students were being deprived of higher education.
While 3.19 lakh BC students had applied for scholarships, only 24,000 students had been sanctioned the same. While the requirement was Rs.165 crores for one year, only Rs. 84 crores had been sanctioned for two years, Mr. Hari Kishore said.
For tuition fees, against the pending amount of Rs.6.2 crores at the end of last year, the Government sanctioned only Rs.5 crores for the two years.
SFI university secretary B. Janardhan said that poor students were unable to renew their admission as the tuition fee had not been released to the BC students so far.
Hyderabad Bandh and KCR arrest: Tension prevailed in Telangana districts of Andhra Pradesh after police successfully scuttled the “fast unto death” program demanding statehood to Telangana region planned by the president of Telangana Rashtra Samithi, or TRS, K. Chandrasekhar Rao, on Sunday morning.
Rao, also a Member of Parliament, was arrested at Alugunur near Karimingar when he was on his way to reach Siddipet in Medak district where he was scheduled to begin the fast. He was later produced before the magistrate of Khammam district and was shifted to the sub jail there, where he continued his fast.
The police took into custody several top ranked leaders of TRS including some of the members of legislative assembly and produced them before magistrate court in Medak and later shifted them to jail. Some of them were released on bail in the evening, while some preferred to stay back in jail, refusing to avail bail.
