Osmania University ex-students told to vacate hostels
“Such measures have been warranted as there have been a series of representations from students and scholars who have been admitted recently.â€
Hyderabad: Osmania University Vice-Chancellor Prof. S. Ramachandram has warned former students who have completed their courses against overstaying in hostels and ordered to vacate immediately to avoid police action.
The university plans to seek the help of the police to evacuate “non-boarders”, and cautioned them that the authorities would not intervene in case of police raids. The university said, “Such measures have been warranted as there have been a series of representations from students and scholars who have been admitted recently.”
Some former students overstay as they prepare for competitive examinations, occupying accommodation meant for fresh students hailing from districts. Stating that the university infrastructure had come under severe strain, Prof. Ramachandram said the administration would relentlessly pursue this issue and warned overstayers of action.
