Hyderabad: Women hostel students of Mahatma Gandhi University in Nalgonda staged a midnight protest against the administration alleging no drinking water.
The incident took place on the intervening night of Tuesday and Wednesday in front of the Vice-Chancellor’s Guest House. They said that drinking water and water for general use were being diverted to the new university buildings.
Despite repeated requests submitted from hostel wardens to the Vice-Chancellor, no action was taken, they said.
On information, police reached the spot and tried to pacify the agitating students.
They called for the immediate formation of a high-level committee to inspect the hostel, suggest a long-term solution, and initiate action against the caretakers and wardens accused of negligence. They warned of escalating their agitation if the university administration did not resolve the issue.
