Sensing trouble, the local police swung into action and tried to control the protesters, who wanted entry into classrooms. The protesters questioned both the police and management as to why the classes were being run when the government passed an order declaring summer vacation for the junior colleges.

“Despite the vacation announced by the government, the college management is unauthorizedly organizing classes for the intermediate students. Following the protest, the management closed the college. We will register a complaint with the TSBIE over the issue,” said Kamal Suresh, joint secretary ABVP Telangana.
