Student and teacher clash on Osmania University campus

Hyderabad: A clash broke out on the Osmania University campus on Friday as the students interrupted the rally of the Telangana Universities Teachers’ Association. The assistant professors on contract took out the rally demanding regularisation of their jobs. The teachers proceeded shouting slogans praising Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao and the TRS. However, the students protested saying that only the university authority can take the decision.  

Over 500 students started charging at the contractual teachers near the Osmania University police station.  Police had to resort to lathi charge and arrest a few on preventive custody to bring the situation under control. Three students were injured and two students, Bheemrao Nayak and Manoj, were taken to the Nallakunta police station.
