HYDERABAD: In response to the growing protests by students and opposition parties over Hyderabad University land, the Telangana government has formulated a comprehensive action plan to address these concerns effectively.
Key Meetings by the Deputy Chief Minister
On Tuesday, Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka held discussions with Professor Hara Gopal, MLC Kodandaram, and other public organisation leaders. The meeting focused on the dispute surrounding Hyderabad University land, its allocation, and the ongoing court cases.
The government maintains that these lands have been under legal scrutiny for a long time, but the university has never actively participated in these cases. Now, as the Supreme Court ruling allows the government to reclaim and auction these lands, objections are suddenly being raised by the university and students.
Government’s Stance and Opposition’s Response
The government asserts that the land legally belongs to the state and its auction is being conducted per court directives. However, students and opposition parties argue that the land was designated for educational purposes and its auction would harm academic institutions. The government believes that political motives are driving these protests and has decided to engage public organisations to inform students of the facts.
Chief Minister’s Intervention and Future Measures
Chief Minister Revanth Reddy convened a meeting with ministers, including Deputy CM Bhatti Vikramarka, Ministers Ponnam Prabhakar, Kodanda Sreeka, and others, to discuss the issue. He instructed ministers to ensure that accurate information reaches the public and that protests are handled peacefully.
Next Steps
The government plans to maintain communication with students and public organisations to dispel misconceptions surrounding the issue. Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka and other ministers will soon address the media to present the government’s position on the matter.
Note: This news is based on the latest available information, and further developments are expected.
