BRSV urges OU to halt demolition of hostels, restore utilities

Hyderabad: The BRSV on Wednesday urged the Osmania University administration to immediately halt the demolition of E1, E2 and D hostels and restore electricity and water supply to them.

In a representation submitted to OU Registrar Prof G Naresh Reddy, BRSV general secretary Jangaiah said several students preparing for job notifications had been left without accommodation as the hostels were being demolished. He urged the university and the State government to ensure that students preparing for competitive examinations faced no hardships.

He wanted the Congress government to immediately release the Rs 1,000 crore promised to the university, stating that the funds must be used to construct new hostels, provide well-equipped laboratories and ensure comfortable living spaces for students.

The BRSV demanded that the government release notifications for vacant teaching and non-teaching positions at the university, besides issuing recruitment notifications for other government departments.
