HYDERABAD: Governor E.S.L. Narasimhan will enter the Osmania Unversity campus after seven years — and for the first time after the formation of the state. Mr Narasimhan, OU Chancellor, will flag off the Centenary Run on March 11. Mr Narasimhan last visited the campus in July 2010, when he attended the 78th Convocation.
Mr Narasimhan was scheduled to preside over the 79th convocation of Osmania on February 7, 2013, but changed his decision on advice from the police. The campus at that time was the hotbed of the statehood agitation, and students accused him of being anti-Telangana. Intelligence agencies suspected that students might create disruptions. After that Governor did not get an opportunity to visit the campus again. On the campus, the white T-shirts and caps for the run sold well on Wednesday. The price was fixed as Rs 100 and students were seen queuing up to buy them.
