He said private engineering, degree, and other colleges have recently been organising large-scale events in the name of film promotions, celebrity visits, and cultural festivals without the necessary permissions. 

“Strict action must be taken against colleges that violate the rules. Institutions responsible for serious violations should face steps to revoke their recognition,” he added.
