Osmania University athletes meet Srinivas Goud over sports hostel

Hyderabad: Former international, national and current athletes from the Osmania University met Sports Minister V Srinivas Goud and requested him to take action against shifting of the sports hostel from the university.

According to the athletes, the University officials are planning to convert the sports hostel, which houses around 70 athletes, as the ladies hostel for the students. “The Sports Hostel was constructed in 2013 and the campus athletes are being housed there. But with the number of girl students in the campus increasing, the officials have decided to convert the hostel into a girls hostel,” one of the athletes said.

A delegation met Srinivas Goud and requested him to stop the move. Meanwhile, Minster spoke to the vice chancellor of the Osmania University and told him to continue the sports hostel which has noted athletes who represented the State and the country.
