In a statement issued here, Bhatti said he had ordered a probe after a report about shortage of power and drinking water in Osmania University had gone viral on social media.

The university was being supplied uninterrupted power through two separate 11kv feeders from the 33/11 KV sub-station situated in the campus and that the meter reading too was showing that the university was being supplied power regularly, he said. “Students of the university do not need to worry at all.

They can stay in the university and study. There is no need for students to vacate hostels. The Congress government will always support the students and the unemployed,”he said.
