Nalgonda: Students staying in the Mahatma Gandhi University women’s hostel staged a protest around midnight on Tuesday, complaining a severe shortage of drinking water and water for daily use.
The students claimed that the crisis arose after the water supply meant for the hostels was diverted to construction sites of new university buildings. As a result, they said they were struggling to meet their basic daily needs.
As the situation worsened, the students gathered in front of the Vice-Chancellor’s Guest House at around 1 am and raised slogans, demanding an immediate supply of drinking water and water for daily use.
The protesters alleged that despite bringing the issue to the notice of the Vice-Chancellor and the Registrar late at night, the concerned caretakers and wardens failed to respond promptly.
They accused the university administration of neglecting their grievances and said the lack of basic amenities reflected poor management and administrative negligence.
The students said the shortage of drinking water and other essential facilities in the women’s hostel was affecting their health, hygiene and academic activities. They demanded the immediate constitution of a high-level committee to inspect the hostel conditions, recommend a permanent solution and initiate action against the caretakers and wardens responsible for the alleged negligence.
The students warned that they would intensify their agitation if the university administration failed to resolve the issue without delay.
