A three-tier security was formed to avoid untoward incidents and to maintain law and order at the campus, which has been witnessing student protests for the last one month.

About 3,000 students of RGUKT-Basar launched a fresh strike alleging poor quality of food at a mess on the campus on Saturday night. They demanded change of contractor who operates messes in the university. They planned to organise a meeting in Hyderabad to chalk out an action plan.
